Went up Mocassin summer trail on touring skis. Observed debris from 2 avalanches (estimate 48-72 hrs ago) in both drainages (each side of the summer trail). See details in the avalanche section

Avalanche

Both avalanches ran in deep gully, on each side of Mocassin summer trail. Start zone likely in alpine (1900m), but couldn't confirm visually due to visibility. Best guess is that avalanches happened during last rain event (dec 26-28th)
