These are two additional slides in the Humpy Creek Drainage, just north and east of the Super Bowl slides, with very similar characteristics.

Some of the surface hoar was still easily identified.
Comments
This was the last slide that I observed in the same general as the other Humpy Creek avalanche. Again, snowmobile triggered, north aspect above 10,000', and likely failed on surface hoar.
