Comments
Poor visibility from our vantage point, size is unconfirmed. Audible avalanche from 500m away, we saw debris flowing off the Crowfoot Glacier near Crowfoot Falls.
Frequent size 1 loose dry avalanches out of the headwall with new snow and wind.
Several size 1.5 windslab avalanches on NE moraine features that are likely a week old.
