Comments
Multiple Slab avalanches viewed in the Cayoosh / Duffey area. Snowshoed up to Marriott Basin. Viewed slab avalanches from the FSR. Then when I reached the basin, I encountered the debris of 2 slab avalanches, one reaching the other side of the basin and shortly after the second spilling down the basin. I decided to cut my adventure short and head back. PS - Snow conditions were awful / crusty in the trees until around 1650m, then powdery :-)
