Avalanche

Dozens of wet loose avalanches from the past two days on east, south, and west aspects. Most were D1-1.5, and a few were ugly D2 cement mixers. There appeared to be a bit of a downturn in natural activity today. I saw one fresh D2 slab that was either a wet slab release or a hot persistent slab (SE aspect ATL), and another fresh-looking persistent slab triggered by cornice fall (NE aspect ATL).
