Saw these two avalanches on the north, northwest aspect of the hill just west of Wolf Creek campground (facing Neeley Basin). Not sure when the first one ran, but the second one ran around 3 p.m. The area was experiencing fairly high traffic today (lots of doggos), so we turned our beacons to search when we got near the second, smaller slide (didn't pick up any signals). Wind was strong over the hill, blowing snow over and depositing it on this side (north). Hard wind slabs on the top of the slope, and it looks like those are what broke.
