Comments

Saw several avalanches that occured before Saturday's storm, likely earlier this week.

This slide looks like it was trigger

Comments

A closer look at the same slide.

Comments

Another slide, similar aspect and elevation, just a little farther up the ridge. Not sure of the trigger. Also suspect buried surface hoar, especially because the crown is in an open spot in the trees.

Comments

This slide occurred mid-slope in Cutler Basin, near 8500', NE aspect. Likely sympathetic to a larger slide. Not sure of the weak layer. There was evidence of many other slides in this basin, but the flat light made it hard to pick out many crowns. Based on the visible debris, several slides ran a good 800-1000' vertical.
