Avalanche

Spx- North side of Snodgrass doesn't have much left. Slides covered the road from N Snodgrass most of the way across the East Face of Gothic. Debris over the road varied from 190cm to well over 300cms. Snow feels like WA,heavy and wet. Innumerable slides from the last few days on all aspects and elevations (the double barrel bowls on "White" Mountain made famous by AIARE and my thrilling account, West Face of Western States, damn near all obvious micro features in the East River drainage and the aforementioned Snod/Goth paths), but no activity observed today when visibility permitted.
