The Y Gully looks like it slid pretty big in March (I saw the side of the slide from Loveland at that time, but didn't get in there until today to check it out). There was a lot of debris at the bottom of the gully. The snow slide went uphill on the other side of Herman Gulch maybe 40 feet and knocked down trees on that side. The gully clearly got quite a bit wider with snapped-off trees on both sides most of the way to tree line.
