While on Raymond Peak 4/29, we saw that some huge avalanches had happened across big cotton wood canyon and they looked like they had broken the dust layer that had been deposited in the two dust storms this week, so I'm assuming they happened late Saturday. Here is a photo. The second photo is of a very small and fresh wet slab avalanche on Raymond near where we were skiing. There were lots of small and fresh avalanches on Raymond, which we assumed happened Saturday afternoon. Just wanted to upload some photos to show that there is still risk out there, especially with today's new layer of snow.
