Comments
I went to the meadow just past the Lower falls and got a couple of short lines above there. I stayed to the west end of that face and found some openings in the alders. There were two recent small slides east of where I rode. The bigger of the two looked like a small slab released and travelled 50-60 meters down a narrow gully and terminated as the slope angle decreased slightly. The other was just a shallow slab that released off of the west side of a convex feature and hardly went 20 meters. The trail was tricky at times because it was drifted over with very firm snow. Crampons would have been a good idea.
