Observed several recent crowns on Vantage Peak on our way out from Keiths Hut Saturday mid-day. The would have been from avalanches that same day since we did not observe them the day before. We opted to skin out and avoid any riding that day. We only rode the moraine down from the hut and did not observe signs of instability, although another report indicates it slid later that day, hypothetically due to more precipitation and rising temperature. Conditions were bad with high avalanche danger, heavy wet and deep snow on a problematic layer ~30cm below.
