Comments

There were plenty of avalanches to observe today. Although we weren't able to get great pictures, here are a few to show the extent of the cycle. Basically every canyon on the Wellsville's had some activity. Interestingly enough, most of the slides did not pull out from the top ridge they were generally down several hundred feet from the ridge. We also noted that Water Canyon went huge overnight, as well as Upper Birch canyon, and SW face of Flat Top.
