I observed evidence of dozens of natural avalanches from overnight in the Tony Grove Area. Several of these were right above the Tony Grove Road, most above around 7000' in elevation..... Pretty much every slope steeper than about 35 degrees and facing the northeastern quadrant had released... The culprit? you guessed it! Facets

These are photos of a few of the avalanches northwest of Tony Grove Lake

Looked at a very broad hard slab avalanche on the bench above the lake 2-3' deep, and probably around 1/2 mile wide.
