Saw two impressive naturals that seemed to have happened during the 5-9 inch storm on Sunday night, but at different times during the storm. I didn't get close to them but they were at least 5-6 feet deep at the largest part of the crown. My guess is that they failed below the MLK day rain crust on buried facets. They were two avalanches, a few hundred feet wide and 3-6 feet deep is my guess from afar. They are located below the summit Oblisque Peak, the peak between Hogum and Maybird drainage's.
