Quick report
Couple new small soft slab avalanches today. One on a steep Railway cut bank and another on a steep cut bank above the Middle Fork. Suspect these also failed on weak faceted snow near the ground and ran sometime early this morning. Visibility was limited, but I could not find any avalanches up in the higher elevation terrain. Maybe tomorrow with better vis? Another 3-4"of snow on the Canyon floor today with raging easterly winds and plummeting temperatures. Blizzard conditions and widespread wind slabs at all elevations.
