Multiple avalanches up to size 2 on the Chickadee Valley slide paths, most going part way down but crossing up/down tracks from within the last 36 hours. Also numerous sloughs from steep terrain at the back of the valley and on Whymper. Evidence of point releases on steep terrain. Skier triggered and natural sloughs from X couloir area crossing uptracks (while skiers were finishing up track and skiing down).
