Comments
There were at least two avalanches that we observed which released during the tail end of Wednesday's storm. The crowns were slightly obscured because of wind drifted snow. It doesn't appear the entire bowl released, just a pocket on the northwest aspect and a pocket on the northeast aspect. These were fairly shallow avalanches and didn't even run half of the track. I suspect we haven't seen the last of avalanche activity in this bowl for this year.
