Avalanche report
- Comment
- We observed 3 different heavy wet avalanche runout debris fields today. Size 1-3.5. The largest ran to ground at the coordinates of this report, traveled to valley bottom and turned down stream. They occurred naturally before the most recent storm cycle (new snow on top of debris) and are far more characteristic of late spring slides. The debris is frozen solid and covered in a small amount of fresh snow.
