Skiing
Observed two dry-loose slides and one slab avalanche on the NE-facing slope of Peak 10,024 (not sure if it has a local name) in the Shower Creek basin on Sunday - all were presumably naturally triggered. We didn't observe them slide. The slab avalanche may have been from the previous day?

Sled Skiing in Third Yellow mule... after an air onto the slope the impact from landing resulted in a fracture and failure to / near the ground... in addition, a remote trigger occurred on adjacent slope... 200-300 ft to the skiers right. No body was caught in either slide. Skier that initiated failure was moving at high speed and was beyond slide path before majority of snow movement began. Photo: W. Miller
