Avalanche
-Toured out to hidden lake lookout on 4/6/24. Ascended summer route to lookout as a result of no snow at start of winter route. Thin, intermittent snow begins at ~3600. Started skinning at ~4000. No signs of warming observed on 4/6. - On return trip from lookout, 4/7, observed debris from a large D2 (maybe D3?) avalanche covering our previous day’s skin track (see annotated photo and later/long). - Slide path ~100ft across and ran >600ft-1000ft). Unable to visualize start zone due to poor visibility. Visibility cleared up at later in the day down lower (took annotated photo then). -Observed a 2nd D2 avalanche down lower on route to Triads, which ran from tree line/rocks down to bottom of gully (see 2nd photo) -4/7 had lots of signs of warming present, rollerballs coming out of trees, and lots of treebombs down lower.
