Comments

On Sunday the winds were moderate to strong and wind transport was moderate. These avy's were not noticed on Sunday. When riding today (Monday) these avy's were observed. Common traits were below cornice or rock face and northerly facing that had lots of wind loading. Note most slides start zones are in the shade, on several you can see two different layers.
