Skied in the trees in Paget Peak lookout area. Ski conditions are very good and snow is fantastic. We ski cut to avalanches in the size 1-1.5 range with slab thickness of between 20-30cm. Appeared to be storm slab. The avalanches occurred below treeline in fairly steep open tree features. Otherwise stability was good on lower angle and or tighter trees. Access is quick and easy on the summer trail. Photos of both avalanches are attached, most notably one of the avalanches had significant propagation.
