Comments
Small size one human triggered avalanche on the east facing aspect coming down through the glades from motel 66 to Keith’s hut. A number of other people at the hut noted that they also triggered some small avalanches on similar aspects of a similar size on March 19. Lots of fresh snow falling (approx 15cm).
