Avalanche

Similar to our cycles earlier in December, the southwest quadrant stayed pretty quiet out there. A lot of those slopes were bare dirt. I spotted 6 persistent slabs, D1-D2, that released sometime in the past few days out of concave gullies on west facing terrain A/NTL, low on slopes below wind erosion. Gothic’s east face produced a fresh D2 to the ground today. There was a wide propagating crown across Hidden Lake Bowl on Whetstone that looks older (Tuesday storm), and a few of smaller ones that looked crisp enough to be from today. And a cute ‘lil pocket on the southeast side of Avery that looks like it was triggered by a cornice fall today.
