Toured up to east pass and walked the ridge to west bowl of silver fork. While hiking the ridge we managed to trigger 4 sizable slab avalanches, the largest being over 300 feet wide. The slide pictured broke 12-18 inches deep and failed on weak faceted snow from early November. Slide was triggered by just a stomp or two on the lower angled slope connected above. Thanks to Calvin Hawley for the last photo.
