Many many natural avalanches today in the Provo mountains. The SWE is clear - 7.5"...so far. We noted debris in Lost Creek, below the Cascade Cirque and beyond Stewart Falls, Ipanna and the Middle Finger above Sundance (photo below), the east and northeast chutes of Elk Point, and witnessed a Class 4 coming down from Robert's Horn into Primrose Cirque. The slidepaths above Sundance ran at least 3 times, with lower elevation areas having some rock/mud-slides.

Rain/Snow line rose from 7300' to 8000' during the day. Skiing not bad. Water and slush everywhere. Post frontal, the place will be an ice-rink.
