Noticed multiple wet slides in Logan Canyon today. From 7000-5000' varying in width and depth. Mostly in the 10-20' wide range but one by the Dugway was 50'+. I noted avalanches on north through west facing slopes, but any steep snow covered slope at lower elevations has potential to run. Depths ranged from a couple of inches to 12-18" of rain saturated snow, gouging to the ground..

The Logan River Trail (about 100 yds up canyon from the SNC) was hit by a small slide as well.
