Panorama Ridge

<p>Lots of new snow, turning heavy throughout the afternoon. Top 10 cm of powder became heavy as temps warmed. Heard two avalanches originating from Panorama Peak area - visibility was too poor to see location or size. Large trees were falling on the ski-out trail in the afternoon due to the weight of the snow, posing an unusual hazard both in debris and physical safety. Ski out was wet and packed. Rain below 1500m. </p>
