Quick report

Skies were FEW but seemed to be clouding up so headed to the BF green-boxes and got a nice angle on the 3/26 slide in Brown's Bowl. Moved on to the Swan River School parking lot and observed another glide avalanche in the Noisy Creek Drainage. Unfortunately I can't see this location from my house so I'm not sure when it failed. Would bet it was well within the last 4 days. A couple substantial D1.5 WL also observed beginning as point releases from upper elevations. One in the Wolf Creek Drainage and another beginning in a NW aspect gully on Orvis Evans. Features were pretty well smoothed so they would seem to be not very recent.
