Observed two soft slab avalanches on Raymond that occurred prior to 8am, one on the E face and another on the SE face of the ridgeline down to Baker Pass. Both wind-loaded pockets and fresh. An additional hour of sun pried out a third around 9am, more wet loose in character, on more S facing from the secondary peak along the Raymond ridgeline. I spectulate 17" depth because that's what I measured depth of snow down to old/new snow interface where we were skiing. Also observed additional slides in the Bonkers/Diving Board area.

Another party observed the same slides. Below is their photo (MF).

"Saw a few different slides on Raymond from Butler Basin ridgeline. Distinct crowns in the middle of the rock chutes and on the approach shoulder. Other slides looked like point releases. All looked to be sliding on the crust as the bed surface in the rocks near crown looked shiny in the sun from afar."
