Comments
Noticed this small but fairly deep slide on Raymond Slabs from that looks to have gone sometime post storm. No other slides in the area. Maybe glide related?
[Forecaster Comments: A few forecasters looked at this photo and agree it is a likely glide crack. The Raymond Slabs are known for glide avalanches.]
