Comments
Couldn't get photos while riding, but noticed 2 avalanches on approximately 30- deg slopes. About 80ft wide and 80 long. They were observed on small slopes within the openings in the tree line. Trees line stopped the avalanches as a barrier.
Snow was wet and heavy. It was raining most of the morning. Very Foggy with zero visibility at times.
