Appears to be a fairly widespread wet slab cycle in beaver canyon. I'm guessing the snowplows may have triggered some of these, with some possibly starting naturally (many wet loose and roller balls noted). Likely new, wet snow (and rain) from overnight failed on the weak faceted surface snow it fell on. Could not photograph all of them. One outlier was noted nearer the Franklin basin lot on the north side of the road at about 6900' on a SE aspect, but appeared to be of the same cause.
