<p>We attempted to summit Mount Filed today but turned around well before the upper slope due to recent avalanche activity and wind-affected snow. We observed two recent (24-48hrs?) sizes 2.0 avalanches (photos attached of the largest). Deep soft slab- wind effect was well observed down below treeline on some lines, but others were unaffected. </p>
