Comments
We saw evidence of numerous small recent natural wet loose avalanches in very steep terrain under cliffs and cornices. These were shallow and involved only last week's fresh snow. There were lots of recent sled and snowbike tracks on almost all slopes, even in very steep terrain and under larger overhanging cornices.
