Quick report

Noticed some recent crowns on the SE slopes of Elk Mountain above Autumn Creek this afternoon. They look like a soft slabs composed of the most recent storm snow. Could not view the runout and extent of the debris. The left-most, and upper-most avalanches in the images looked more recent than the other crowns in the lower right. Maybe that one ran today with the sunshine and warming?
