Red Flags Comments
Natural avalanche cycle on northerlies occurred pretty early in the storm,(likely Tuesday evening) and a foot-and-a-half of new snow covers much of the evidence.. There was a more recent natural cycle involving loose and soft slab avalanches of storm snow.
Comments
Lots of riders out and many ventured onto steep slopes. I saw a couple fresh, recently triggered avalanches, but thankfully nothing real big.
