We noticed a natural avalanche in the middle Tri Chute this morning. The starting zone was in the lower 1/3 of the chute, but it ran about half way down the apron. It was not a big slide and seemed to be mostly surface snow, but it travelled pretty far. There was some new snow on the debris, so I'm guessing that this happened either during or just before the storm yesterday.
There was also a small natural in the Tri Chute on the lookers left that happened sometime this morning. It was small and did not run very far, but still worth noting.
