Comments

Watched a fairly large loose dry (assuming natural) slide come off Mt.Temple from top of Paradise Chair. Approx 9:20am. Couldn’t see in too much detail at a distance but was looking at the temple glacial cap when it spilled off. Powder cloud reached near valley bottom between Temple and Haddo. Well past Lake Annette for sure.
