A widespread natural wet-loose avalanche cycle in Upper Little Cottonwood Canyon starting around 11:00 AM on east-southeast-southerly facing aspects up to 10,000' these avalanches all started as wet loose avalanches. They entrained more snow and had decent debris piles where they stopped. Depth was 4"-8" and they were running on the dust layer prior to the last storm. These avalanches were noted on Cardiff, Superior, Hellgate, and the American Fork Twins.
