Quick report

On the evening of 1/2 I was putting my skis on to go over to someone's house and heard a rumbling. It was dark at that point so the ob had to wait till morning. There seems to be an avalanche up high on the summit ridge and another below the cliff band on the lookers left. The snow carried on in Gothic until about 4 pm with light wind. I'm guessing that those two factors contributed to enough of an increased load to trigger the high avalanche and the lower triggered sympathetically to the first.
