Avalanche Information

Several avalanches (size 1-2) were observed on Feb 21, apparently occuring on Feb 20, on the north aspect of Cirque Peak. They appeared to be the result from cornice failure from the ridge above, resulting in failure of the facet layer. At least one triggered a secondary avalanche on a convex roll much further down the slope.
