Evidence of natural and human triggered avalanche cycle in the Log Cabin gullies from more than 48 hours ago. 7 cm snow on debris. Ran full path in northernmost gully and ran in between gullies. Appeared to be one skier accidental on the convex slope where skiers typically enter the gullies from the “cut line” route.
