Avalanche

There were four natural avalanches in Current Creek Cirque / the Indians. Probably ran yesterday or the day before that. All were natural, soft slabs. Maybe cornice collapse triggered. East southeast to south southeast aspect. Crowns at approximately 12,000'. R1.5, D1.5. Otherwise, while weather was clear in Current Creek, we could observe nearly 100 avy paths in Current Creek, Second Creek, and Mines 1 and 2. And, these four were the only four that had run recently. There were ski tracks on about a third of the below treeline avy paths in Current Creek. There were no ski tracks on any above treeline avy paths.
