Here's a few more recent photos to borrow Korup's emoticon!:
The first is of a big wet slab, in progress of sliding, Fisher Creek Basin.  This was taken at about 9:30 AM yesterday. Looks like it started from a point release above.  The second is from the earlier thread on the Highway closure.  The third is Humpback Mountain today on my way home from Larry's in Seattle.  Before we left for the NC Hwy on Monday there was some talk of hitting a west aspect, particularly Humpback, this coming weekend.  I've never noticed such a huge glide crack on the west side of Humpback, as opposed to its' east slope where they happen every Spring.  Guess we won't be hitting that one this year.  It isn't possible to see from my shaky hand as I was passing the truck, but the buckling formations on the snow below the crack were really neat looking.
