Toured up Soldier Peak. On first lap spotted evidence of two avalanches lower down on ridge off Gobblers (photo 1). The higher of the two slides appeared to have tracks next to it but couldn't tell if it was skier triggered with today's flat light. On 3rd lap spotted evidence of a fresh avalanche hire up on ridge triggered by wind loading (photo 2). S & E faces starting to damped on upon exit.
