We noted multiple no avalanches on the tour on Two Oceans, but noted small D1 avalanches that looked natural occurring on the north facing slopes on the south side of the hwy as we approached the Two Oceans parking lot (aka west of the lot). No sled/ski tracks were noted nearby. We heard whumping from elevations ~9500 ft up to 9900 ft. throughout the morning.

HS = 80 cm on a NE face @ 9500ft (22 degree slope) HS = 124 cm on W Face @9850 ft (24 degree slope)- CTH (23 taps) was noted to have a collapse down on the basal facets at ground level. A weak interface was also noted ~60cm down which broke up the consolidated slab above the bottom 50cm of facets (~5 Melt/freeze crust were noted in the bottom 50cm of facets.
