All along the Super Bowl ridgeline that faces northeast, I observed several natural avalanches that appeared to have been triggered by cornice fall which then triggered a deeper slide into older snow. The Uintas have been getting very strong south, southwest winds the last few days and the cornices have grown into some huge monsters. Yesterday, some riders reported seeing the aftermath of a very large avalanche in the area that broke trees and was the biggest slide they have seen in this area. I was not able to observe this slide due to limited visibility. Strong winds today should keep the hazard high with more natural avalanches likely.
