Avalanche

We encountered two natural slides on our way back down from the hut. Both of the slides we encountered had occurred in-between the time we got to the hut and the time we left the next morning. The first slide we got to was in the first path you come across on the way down, and the second was at the third path you come to on the way down. Both of the slides were D2 but we could not tell how big they went relative to the size of the path. There was debris that made it to the road with both as well. The first slide was on a west facing aspect at approximately 10050ft, and the second was on a west facing aspect at approximately 9650ft. It appeared that they were both storm snow slides.
