Lots of natural avalanche activity on the backside of Brighton from the last storm. It looks like all were natural releases. Pretty much everything in the Snake Creek Pass Drainage and everything north facing in Caribou Basin ran. A lot of the paths had also reloaded. This is the widespread natural avalanche activity I was expecting from this last storm.
Forecaster Note: the slide off the Preston Peak ridgeline into Snake Creek went into the old Nov facets.
