I could see a few recent natural avalanches of wind drifted snow in the Garden City Area. There are many small slopes around Bear Lake and in the the Garden City neighborhood that clearly can avalanche on a good snow year like this, especially when we get lots of fresh snow and drifting from south or west winds...
