Walked up to the PC ridgeline to do some avalanche viewing. We were blessed with good visibility but the winds were quickley covering old slides. East and South monitor had numerous avalanches, pictured further below. Reynolds, Gobblers, Raymond all had large naturals. Silver spoon and meadow chutes. These were the exciting ones we saw. Lots of action on east aspects. Pictured below is the slide from radar love which has since been partially refilled by the wind. There was debris all across the bowl and lower on the lookers left you can see where the slide gorged through. In the photo you can also see airborne snow off of the ridge. This was a constant along the PC ridge throughout the day. Consistent strong winds from the west.
Here are some photos of the monitors.
