Avalanche

Avalanches happened sometime between 10:30 and 13:00. Southeast aspect, 11,200ft. Looks like skier triggered avalanches. Entry and exit tracks present. There were two avalanches. Avalanche #1 was 75 feet wide, ran 400 vertical feet, with 12 inch crown. This avalanche had entry tracks from upper lookers left. Avalanche #2 was larger, 150 feet wide, 400 vertical feet, 12 - 18 inch crown. This avalanche had exit tracks lower right. Looked to be persistent slab that failed, then stepped down to ground.
