I went on a little loop up and around Red Mountain today, and have a couple slides to report. Most notable was one that spanned about 2000’ of the north side of Red Mountain. It seemed to be 1-3’ deep in the newer snow, for the most part, but a portion of it broke 15’+ deep and ran at the ground. Judging by how little snow was on the debris, I’d guess it ran sometime Friday night or Saturday. This bowl frequently produces large avalanches, but this one was a real peach. 
I also saw another (much) smaller 1-2’ deep slide on the west-facing road cut just north of the Bacon Rind pullout.
