Several loose wet avalanches triggered while riding down Rogers Run today. Moist surface snow up to 2000m and substantially more moist further into down the BTL with daytime warming. Easily triggered in steeper sections and entraining all available nearby snow, failing on facets and running on the Feb 2nd MFcr. Avoidable, predictable, yet potential to be highly consequential in terrain traps. Watch your sluff management!
