Comments

2 separate avalanches on the same day. Both on east facing aspects at treeline triggered naturally. We found them on our way back at the end of the day on Sunday. Looked recent, within 12 hours. Approx 30cm crowns propagated across the entire face. Suspect persistent slabs on buried surface hoar layer. No activity above treeline on similar aspects.
