Avalanche

Both avalanches were on the same East, North-East aspects, mid-path, and probably were only R1 D1. From my observation, the first one slid sometime between the 23rd and 24th while the second one slid sometime between the 24th and 26th, but I could be mistaken. I did not get a close-up view but it did not look like there were any tracks into them. My guess is that the high winds recently created loading mid-path and that's why it slid below the cornice.
