Recent Avalanches, Wind Loading

Traveled the normal route up Cutler Ridge. Skied off the North/ Northwest and East/Northeast. Much was wind affected with very dense snow on the surface. I t skied nicely but was not powder. Very supportive .wide spread avalanches visible. Most likely from The night or Jan 13 or early AM Jan 14. Many smaller slopes that we don't often see slide. Also most of the Ben Lomond Headwall went massive. Debris ended up on the low angle North west slopes off Cutler Ridge that are often skied. Some pics below but more in the avalanche observation.
