Comments

This slide in White Limbo was reported to us from someone in the Heber valley on his way to go kite skiing. Must have been an awesome site, thanks for the heads up. It encompasses most of the east aspect and all of the SE in upper White Limbo. As it descended about 3000' it triggered more slabs on the NE aspects much lower in the path. Many other medium to large slides were observed throughout the day in Big Springs, Bunnells S aspects and also many on the west side of Timp on SW aspects.
