Hasn't voted | This photo was taken prior to 1996. I have a photo of the south face of Dix shown here from October 1996 which shows a large slide from just below the summit (Beckhorn). Patty Schwankert's photo posted here (taken in winter) clearly shows this slide.
Anybody know when the slide occured?

Hasn't voted | The slide happend in the summer of 1993 over a few weeks with the major one happeing on the night of August 2nd.
I just happend to be up in the area at the time and heard it come down late in the night after a rater large thunderstorm. I was a Marcy dam but the slide was heard as far away as Lake Placid.

Hasn't voted | Actually the slide obliterated part of the Round Pond Tail which now skirts around it so it is in fact one of the easier slides to get to.
I have not done this one myselft though but will try it later this summer.
