Wet slab on Sourdough trail 2

This wet slab was observed on Friday (3/22) across the Sourdough canyon trail, about 1.4 miles up. It put 4-6 feet of debris lower down in the creek. Although small, a heavy wet slide like this can be powerful and very dangerous. Current warm temperatures are a shock to the snowpack, and steep slopes should be avoided if the snow is wet. Photo: S.
