Avalanche

Many. 500 foot crown on ne baldy, ~2 ft deep, on emerald couloir headwall, 200 ft wide glide avvy that went to ground on the flank dividing emerald and Quigley. These slides occured somewhere around 9am The northeast slide path on gothic ripped wall to wall around noon, leaving an extremely deep crown Lots of wind effect but no slides in queens basin. Nachos cornice may be too large to enter the line now. As I skied out white ridge, a massive cornice failure occured on ef gothic, ripping the fall line to dirt. 7pm Didnt get many pictures, light wasn’t playing ball
