This report is comprised of at least 4 sizeable avalanches scattered across the same slope plus a number of small pockets as well. This is the first series of avalanches that released during the storm that were down off the ridge and didn't have any cornice formation above them. With so much weak snow in this terrain, I would expect more of this with the next big storm if we ever get a big storm.
There are two avalanches in this photo. One is fairly visible in the sun and one is a bit more hidden on the right of the photo in the trees.
