I could see evidence of widespread new recent natural avalanches that slammed Maple Bench, most likely occurred during the storm yesterday morning. Some of these ran the full length of their paths. Some were repeaters and overran debris piles from previous avalanches, others might have hit the bench for the first time this winter. Sorry about the poor quality photos..,maybe I'll be able to view in better light tomorrow.
