Bottom Line
I saw a handful of small, fresh wet loose slides while glassing from HWY 75 from 6-7 PM. None of the slides were big enough to bury people (all D1 in size), and the activity appeared to involve only the recent storm snow. Most were in alpine terrain in the Boulder Mtns on SE-S-SW-W-NW terrain. There were a couple of small slides in rocky, north-facing middle elevation terrain near Galena Summit.
