Comments
Forgot to submit this as I didn't have photos. Saw a number of wet avalanches in upper Taylor Canyon from about 8500 to 9500ft on W and NW aspects. A large portion of the skier's right side of Banana Chute ran into main drainage as multiple smaller slides. Both Big Larry and Angie's ran with center punched D2s running 500+ ft. Lower down, ca. 7400ft, the Burn had a D2 run 700-800ft.
