Comments
I could see evidence of a few recent natural avalanches, including a couple in South Shumway off the prominent ridge dividing Shumway and Brushy Canyon's. During a momentary clearing in the clouds, I could see a pretty big crown in one starting zone and obvious debris in a few runout zones.
Sorry, no pictures due to poor visibility...
