Avalanche Problem

Multiple natural and explosive triggered avalanches failing on aspects north-east-south-southwest. These were hard and soft slab avalanches that failed during control work for ski areas and above the highway. Some were recent wind-drifted snow and some failed into faceted grains (PWL).
