Quick report
Saw one prior avalnche that appeared to be a cornice drop wet slab point release. After the avalanche in which I was caught and carried, better inspection of the 1st avalanche showed it was also a wet slab failing and propagation on a weak layer, not just a point release. It seems the new snow from earlier in the week was poorly bonded to the bed surface. With the warm weather today, there were widespread wet slab avalanches failing on this layer on S and E facing slopes--there are 4 distinct wet slab avalanches in the attached photo, looking west at the Wilson Glacier.

Caught and carried but ended up on top. Not burried. No injuries. Triggered wet slab avalanche on a burried weak layer on a 35-40 degree, south facing slope.
