Comments
Observed 4 naturally triggered avalanches from the Cutler skin track.
3 were close together (photos attached) and 1 was smaller & shallower near the bottom of Refrigerator Canyon (no photo or location on map).
The largest avalanche of the bunch ("Slide 2" on map, second photo) appeared to be 3'-4' deep, about 400' wide, and ran about 100'.
We guessed they slid late last night/early this morning.
