Comments
As the weather gave way to clear skies this afternoon, Mount Ogden saw natural avalanches on its west side. I counted 5 natural wet slides on the SW aspect of Allen Peak, D2 in size, running as far as approximately 800ft of vertical. These were accompanied by another half dozen D1 slides confined to the terrain nearest the rocks and trees.
Sorry for the grainy photo. That's the best I could do with my phone and full sun.
