Avalanche Information

Approximately 5 avalanches observed that likely failed on the night of of the 23rd or so (crowns filling in and new snow sitting on debris) Many of the slides were windslabs failing just below ridge crest, however the largest looks like a wind slab failed and caused propagation on the December 6th rain crust. The larger 2.5 (maybe 3?) ran to the middle of its runout. Alpine and exposed tree line were heavily cross loaded with wind from the S, SW. Cornice stomping on cross loaded gully features yielded some shooting cracks and a few failures although isolated and propagation of 4m max with a lot of effort.
