Quick report

Took some time to get a better view of a notable avalanche on a SE aspect that failed between 3/6 and 3/7. Those notes are updated in the attached avalanche observations. 
Continued wet loose avalanche activity and roller balls, typically on steep slopes below rock outcrops. All small in size. Photo examples attached.

This observation was updated on 9/9. The obvious avalanche in the foreground is coded for 3/7 and D3 in size. This avalanche stepped down to a layer deeper than the March 3rd interface. The less obvious crown in the background is coded for 3/6 and D2.5 in size. This avalanche is estimated to have released within storm snow above the 3/3 interface.
