Avalanche

A handful of large wet slabs ran either today or yesterday on easterly aspects N/BTL on weak layers near the ground. ENE seemed to be the sweet spot. The Gibson Ridge slide ran sometime between 2:30 and 3:25 p.m. today. Of course there are lots of undocumented wet loose avalanches; difficult to pin down the timing, I'm coding just a few of the larger/fresher looking ones.
