Quick report

Wet loose avalanche on a south/southwest facing slope about 7600 ft elevation Looked like a mix of wet and dry loose avalanche, more on the wet side…started at cliffs in a typical loos fashion, small start point and fans out…a smaller avalanche was another 250 fetet up the canyon but only went 50-70 feet and point started
