Avalanche

South Highlands Bowl - R2, D3 - ESE at crown - 12,200' Chunk of cornice missing at crown. There are what may be other sympathetic slides at various points along the path. Debris visible down to 9,400' before I lose sight of it. Fair chance it made Conundrum Creek for a full 3,400' run. South Highlands Bowl - R2, D2 - SSE at crown - 12,000' Crown is visible in the lower right foreground of photo. Debris joins that of other South Highlands Bowl slide. Five Fingers - Thumb - R1, D2 - E at Crown - 11,800' Started well below the ridge and ran to roughly 10,700'. This is appears to have slid during yesterday's storm, while the other two appear to have slid after.
