General Observations
Observed an impressive D3 natural slide on steep unsupported S/SE aspect at about 4500ft. Appears to have occurred today with direct solar radiation on the slope. This is an indication of the wide propagation potential and deep slab nature of our tricky persistent slab problem. South aspects should be considered highly suspect during times of solar radiation. Other aspects will likely also get into the action as temperatures warm up this spring.
