Observed many areas of wet slough, wet slides and point releases in snake creek, specifically the east facing peaks and ridgelines of Ant Knolls.
Most of the terrain with activity had 35-40 degree slope angles, many with exposed rocks that accelerated the heating.
Most slides were small, but some picked up a lot of snow on their path. It's possible that some of these could pick up enough weight to trigger the 2-4' slab below, sitting on the rotten early season snow they much of the area.
