Saw this fresh glide avalanche on the Diving Board this morning, looked like it happened last night or yesterday, ran about 900ft and covered up the top of our skin track and ski tracks from Sunday. There are multiple glide cracks opening up on the Diving Board, Bonkers and the Blue Ice due to a dense snowpack and warming temperatures the last few days. It would probably be a good idea not to hang out under these slopes until we get some colder weather to lock up the pack.
