Two recent slides on Highlands Ridge. The most recent appears to have happened after the storm and is lookers left of K-Chutes (Porchester?). Started from the ridge and runs out of sight from my vantage. R2-D2. SE aspect. The second slide appears to have happened during the end of the storm cycle and is in South Highlands bowl. It also started from the ridge ~12,300ft and includes E through SE aspects. The debris made it just short of the creek if not the whole way (valley floor is out of sight). Both slides seem to favor the SE exposure of the compass.
