Good skiing on all aspects. Lots of natural and skier accidental avalanches on N and E aspects this weekend.

Avalanche

3 Sa in McDermott this weekend. 2 observed in N facing chutes in treeline, presumably triggered either Friday of Saturday morning (did not see it occur). We triggered a Sz 2 on a ENE aspect at the end of our day on Saturday (photo 2). Also numerous Na storm and step down persistent avalanches to sz 3 observed on E facing terrain that occurred mostly Friday, but a few on Saturday with some HUGE whumpf- rumbles heard around 4pm saturday (photo 1).
