See photos: Recent glide avalanches observed on Goat – the two close together on looker’s left (to the west), the lower one went last night and the upper starting sagging open today and eventually released at 4:30 pm. Additional cracks around the avalanches. The glide avalanche that released on 1.19 is still easy to see with additional cracking around that as well. There are also a couple of glide cracks on Raggedtop’s south side.
My photos were taken at 2:30 pm. The glide avalanche in George’s photo happened at 4:30 pm.
