Comments
Picture #1: Corner Pocket
Picture #2 Corner Pocket Low depicting mid slope crown and where it strafed over the rock bands
Picture #3 Moderately Low Angle Saddle where snowmachines frequently high mark, there is an obvious crown and may have been motorized triggered.
Not shown: multiple small pocket in finger chutes leading down the ridge to the low saddle. None of these separate slides appeared to be connected. All were down off the ridgeline.
