I saw a large avalanche run on the NW Face of Box Elder, I would guess it was a D2 based on how far it ran and how massive the runout and debris was. I saw a couple ski tracks going into that same face but I have no idea if it was skier-triggered or if anyone was caught.

I also saw a lot of smaller wind slabs pop today NW->NE and the surface snow was very reactive in general. Additionally I saw several wet loose avalanches, all below 10,200, but these looked like they were from yesterday
