Town side of Mt Ogden saw some wet avalanching today. Several fairly small slides, running 200ft max, on W/SW aspects starting near the ridge/rocks. Given the increasing temps and sun tomorrow, I'd keep wet avalanches on the menu on mid/upper elevations where the snowfall of the last couple weeks wasn't stripped away by wind/sun.
