Camped Friday night at Circlet Lake, traveling from Paradise Meadows. Friday was sunny, and the snow from the previous storm was deep (~50cm) and very wet/heavy. Evidence of small wet loose on solar aspects. From Circlet we could see evidence of numerous slab avalanches on both East (Jutland/Edward ridge) and West (Strata Mountain) faces, particularly on convex and rocky features. Size was variable, and from a distance the depth of slab was unclear, though some comprised most of the width of the feature/face. Overnight >20cm of fresh snow fell, and we returned to the car to ride another day.
