This canyon has avalanched numerous times this season as evidenced by a classic toe area of bent scrub maple and broken branches, piles of different aged deposition located throughout the path as well as a fresh wet slide that most likely occurred on Sunday.

The Wellsvilles are a great option in the spring but you MUST pay attention to quickly rising temps. Because the upper bowls and ridgeline are sometimes out of view when ascending, it's wise to practice safe travel techniques to avoid exposing more than one person at a time. Always pay attention to what's above and around you.
