Quick report

Red Flags
Recent Avalanches, Heavy Snowfall, Cracking, Collapsing

Lots of evidence of new snow sluffing around 8,000ft. Witnessed 3 separate sluff slides come down from an unknown location above. As the second one passed us all members of the party heard and felt a layer in the snow "whumpf". Once in a safe location we witnessed a third and even bigger event, potentially a loose snow avalanche.

Only caught the tail end of the loose snow avalanche in the video, the entire rock in the video was covered and a few of the trees on the right during its peak.
