April 23

Glide revisited

I'd seen a couple of glide cracks and a slide on the April13th. After all the warm weather, another look seemed appropriate. A good view of Broads can be had from the top of Gobblers, so that's where I went.

The earlier slide is on the lookers right. A new slide can be seen just to the left of the first one.

A slightly zoomed view shows both slides, a bit of sluffing and a smaller glide down low. The cracks have also increased in size

This picture was zoomed on the computer and a screen shot copy taken, for a better perspective on the movement.

The glide crack I'd seen in Mill B south appears stationary.

With moderate temperatures and probable refreeze of the snow pack forecast for the coming week, I'd expect stabilizing till the next warming period.
