Scattered clouds, light NW winds. 4-8" new snow overnight and up to 70mph westerly winds overnight.

Avalanche

Large to very large avalanches observed on Whetstone (E-SE ATL) fresh overnight (and large sympathetic slide in NE bowl). Also unknown age of the Doubletop avalanches but looked fresh bedsurfaces with binos. W-NW facing NTL terrain. Crown depths look 4-6 feet deep, failing on persistent weak layers and gauging to near ground in places.
