Despite flat light conditions, I could see blown-in and snowed-over evidence of several natural avalanches on east facing slopes, all at around 9000' in elevation, some a bit higher. Digging showed at least 3-feet of new drifted snow from yesterday and Sunday on east facing slopes in the area. No wonder why most of the evidence from yesterday's natural avalanche cycle is now buried and hidden...
Note the large fresh cornice build-up on the South Ridge of Mt. Magog, a mostly filled in crown on the steep slope below.
