Quick report

Good views from the pavement revealed some natural avalanche activity up to large size (D2) on north and northeast aspects.  Each avalanche appeared to break into old snow from October.  Did not see any avalanches on the south half of the compass despite recent northerly winds transporting snow to sunny slopes.
