Avalanche

Very large slide from east slopes of Odaray Mountain ran down to Morning Glory lake with powder cloud obscuring much of the lake and surrounding hillside. Could not see exact start or endpoints due to poor visibility and unwillingness to proceed into more open terrain. Several other slides heard throughout the day in the area. Whoomphing and shooting cracks throughout the day, including below treeline and on low angle terrain.
