Quick report

Lots of recent natural avalanche activity in the Northwest Mountains at all elevations.  Some avalanches grew to very large sizes on alpine terrain features.  I suspect many other slides were missed as crowns and debris were drifted over by snow and wind.  All of the data is best viewed on the map on the Avalanches tab on the observations page.

Weather

It cleared....now we can see all the recent natural avalanche activity.
