Seems like almost any steep north or northeast facing slope in Pleasant Creek avalanched naturally during the Christmas storm. Many of these avalanches were hard to observe due to new snow covering the crowns and obscuring the bed surface and debris but I'm pretty sure that they were there. The two slopes that I can 100% confirm avalanched were the main bowl, which went all the way to the ground and the small slide path in between the BBQ bowl and the fourth slide path which left a debris pile on the road. I'm also pretty sure that I was able to make out crowns on slide path 4, slide path 3, and slide path 1 although the debris did not make it to the road from these ones.
Sorry it was a bit too far away to get any acceptable photos with my cell phone camera.
