General Comments

I could see evidence of natural avalanche activity west of Tony Grove Lake. Many loose snow and small soft slab avalanches ran during Wednesday's intense snowfall...

Here's a picture of one that likely started as a cornice fall or sluff up high and pulled out a small slab lower down.
