Skier tracks were observed going down what I believe is called Lake Chute. Branching south from the tracks we observed an amazingly long crown, about .25 of a mile. Before we noticed this, on our way up we saw many sluffs and small avalanches. Waiting for my partner I saw a small slide break loose near the Tri Chutes . We observed quite a bit of activity between yesterday (2/11) and today. I have included a pic of some of the activity observed around Red Baldy as well. I have many pics of activity all around the Red and White Pine area from yesterday and today. Great out there, just hope people are being smart especially as it continues to warm up over the coming days
