Quick report

Collapsing
isolated

We saw lots of wet slides. We tried to stay conservative and stay away from areas below rock faces the best we could. The uptrack set before us this morning was silly, but I followed it so who am I to judge

Saw debris of 3 avalanches along the ridge heading towards chair peak; we went east to west under the ridge on the source lake side. The avalanches probably wouldn't have buried a person but likely would've injured and carried a person pretty far. We talked with other people who hadn't seen them on their way up. We saw the debris around 11am. They all looked like they started from snow falling off the rock face. We saw a lot of snow falling off the rocks on our way up, likely from the warm temperatures, and some smaller slides too. On our way down, we saw the large slide in the apron/fan above source like. We forgot to take pics but it seemed like it started further above and slid through the narrow chute into the upper fan.
