We went out on a quick walk to introduce some folks to snowshoeing. It was raining and melting but the trail was easy to follow as usual and the surface was fine. No one had been up since the last snowfall. Conditions were good for loose wet slides, so we moved quickly through the first large open slope. The second larger open slope (boulder field underneath if memory serves) had slid in several places from a trigger a long distance up and probably 4 to 6 feet of fresh debris covered the trail in one place. The slides looked fresh. (We did not get closer to more accurately measure the slides) At that point we decided it would be a better idea to head back for lunch and make it a short day. This trail is probably one to avoid for a while until the snowpack stabilizes.
