Comments
Observed what appeared to be a slab avalanche from yesterday as I skinned up toward Catherine's pass this morning.
I was pretty far away, so the trigger, depth, and width are best guesses from looking from afar and the photos.
It was in that steep SE facing section off Mt Wolverine
I noticed 2-3 point release loose snow avalanches on my way up as well, including one to lookers right in the photos (not captured).
