Heard the rumble of multiple slides from Ottomite Mtn. Slides were unable to be observed due to local trees but saw the tracks once I gained more elevation. Several tracks could be seen just east of Zupjok Peak. Due to great distance from observer, hard to see details of crown and debris. Rough estimate of size 2-3. Rapid warming at the time of the slides.
