Bump in wind speed on Wednesday night was enough to produce a number of natural avalanches around the Skyline Summit zone. I couldn't see how far it ran, perhaps 300 to 500 feet. I was able to see that it was pretty wide. The total depth of the snowpack is around 40 inches or a bit more in the wind loaded areas. This broke to the ground so it is at least 40 inches deep.
