I could see evidence of a widespread natural avalanche cycle up in Steep Hollow from the top of Beaver Mountain on Sunday (1-3-10)...Went

I saw evidence of the widespread natural activity mostly on north through east and even southeast facing slopes.

Some of the natural avalanches were fairly broad, encompassing entire small bowls and cliffy slopes.

I came around the corner into the south end of the canyon and found this recently triggered avalanche......tucked under the cliffs next to a well tracked gully...
