Over the last two days I observed many natural/skier triggered avalanches all breaking above the dirty early February brown layer, or in the new snow interfaces.

Most of the photos attached were triggered via ski cuts.

We observed a large natural avalanche that released under a cliff band while in the area on Tuesday morning.
