Multiple avalanches sighted while climbing the Squak Glacier on Kulshan on 1/20. Seems as if the slides occurred after the most recent rain event, since the runnels did not form on the bed surface (last five days?). Slides occurred on steeper surfaces with wind slab deposits most affected by the solar radiation.
