Comments
Driving through St. Marys Lake Road today checking conditions. Snowshoeing up to crag had me dropping down to my waist in places. No settling sounds but I also never strayed onto open slopes. Several size 1 loose wet avalanches that have not run full path. One size 2.5 reached the road. Smaller sized trees evident in profile of debris cleaned from road. Pictures attached.
