Quick report
Observed many older avalanches over the course of a weekend at saddlebag lake. Observed many small older slabs that appeared to release during the rain event following the last storm. Small D0.5 wet slides observed on E facing slopes under rock bands throughout the drainage. Notably, we saw a D1.5 slab that appeared to be much newer than the previously mentioned smaller slabs and appeared to be triggered by cornice fall. Several glide cracks observed including a large crack below the SE face of North Peak. Below freezing temps on Saturday night made for good travel conditions in the morning.
