Comments
Riding around the lake area in the trees, Set off several remote avalanches. Day was stormy & very windy. Raining in the staging area and pellet/sleet type snow as you gained elevation. Heard lots of whumpfing in the alpine/sub alpine.
Noticed shooting cracks along the trails on the steeper banks
Unable to get pictures due to strong winds & wet heavy snowfall causing limited visibility
