Comments
Observed evidence of multiple natural avalanches likely from Sunday 2/16 in Woodcamp proper. Most of the crowns had blown back in somewhat but depth looks about 1' +. Varied in width from 300' to 50'. Vertical varied bw 800' and 200'. Appears to have failed on old/new snow interface. West winds were very strong during the storm which likely overloaded these easterly facing slopes.
Moose are out.
