Comments
Observed debris from a small wet loose slide about 15 feet wide running about 100 vertical feet while ascending to the ridge above Silver Fork. Based on the crusty snow in the debris, I would guess this occured the day prior due to rapid solar warning. Signs of small roller balls were also observed in the area. It was warming rapidly at the time so we quickly moved away from the area to the shelter of the nearby Aspen grove and less steep terrain.
