An observer wrote: "I observed many old slides that must have run within the past week or so. Mostly on NE and E facing slopes. Large debris piles near cornice ridge area looked to have been caused by cornice fall. "

These likely occurred as a result of very strong and sustained west and northwest winds Friday night and Saturday morning (overnight Feb 4 and 5).
