On the way up canyon, I could see evidence of widespread natural avalanche activity on slopes facing every direction and at all elevations... I could only catch a brief glimpse of higher stuff, and could see a handful of pretty long running avalanches up high above the lower part of the Canyon.... I noticed a few new slides on the way back down in the early afternoon, so natural activity was occurring today as one might expect. Included photos of a shallow release in Red Banks, wind slabs under the Swan Flats Cliffband on a southwest facing slope, and the west ridge-line of Amazon Basin drifted east facing slope..
