Quick report

~7 natural avalanches. It was cold and snowing with variable visibility and I didn't feel like taking my hands out of my gloves to snatch photos.

Avalanche

We ski'd some lower angle terrain in the Hammill zone. We saw signs of a few natural avalanches that had run not long before we showed up, and while we ski'd in the area (11am-4pm ish) we witnessed at least 4 more natural avalanches. They were all D1 and didn't propagate/entrain too much snow, but the largest of which might have been 40 ft wide and ran for several hundred feet (couldn't see where they were initiated from as visibility was poor). They didn't run the whole slope and came to a stop on ~25-30 degree terrain. We didn't witness any cracking or collapsing.
