Touring between the meadow and East Pass in White Pine on Sunday our party saw several natural avalanches that ran during the Friday night-through-Saturday night storm. Most of the north-facing apron on the north face of Red Baldy had slid, with crowns of 1-2' beneath the rock band. We also noted that the skier's rightmost Tri Chute had slid during the storm. I was unable to get a good picture on my phone, but indicated the location of the slide with red arrows. It appeared, like the Red Baldy slides, to be 1-2' deep and flushing the width of the chute. From reading the observations, it appears the middle Tri Chute was subsequently triggered by a party later in the day.
