Quick report

We did not observe any signs of instability prior to triggering the avalanches. However the snow was pretty wet and slushy, with ankle/calf depth penetration. It was snowing at the time but had probably been raining earlier.

Avalanche

I triggered a small loose wet avalanche on a northwest facing slope around 4500ft above Bagley lakes. I was caught in the avalanche and slide a short distance before stopping. I was not buried at all. My partner triggered another loose wet avalanche shortly afterwards on the same slope.
