Clear, no precip, 10s-20s F at 11-12k’ mid morning.

Avalanche

Two large, naturally triggered avalanches observed. Thick crown visible below ridge top on 35+ degree start zone. Did not see the avalanche occur - probably released earlier this morning as debris was not covered by new snow. Debris at least 2m thick in places.
