Comments
I snowshoed to the beaver ponds on Broads. Once there I could the remnants of a glide avalanche that had ran significantly on Bonkers. Others could be seen on the Diving Board and other fracture points on the upper east face of Twin Peaks.
I broke trail from the TH to the beaver ponds with no other skiers or skin tracks observed.
