Glassing near Moran

Drove north past Colter Bay to take advantage of the clear(er) weather and look for recent avalanche activity further north in the Tetons. A middle elevation cloud band developed along the Tetons, and persisted throughout the day - limiting that amount of direct solar input into the snowpack. As such, I saw few signs of wet snow activity. I did observe some roller balling, and very small wet loose slides at lower elevations where cloud cover was broken. These signs of warming were patchy and very dependent on cloud cover. Overall, the snowpack remained largley shaded and cool. Temperatures reached 32F in the valley by 1:00 PM. I was able to observe a number of large avalanches on higher peaks today. The avalanches I saw all carried similar characteristics - SE /E facing terrain, above 8000', and likley failed around February 19th at the end of the last storm cycle. The East Horn on Mount Moran produced a very large avalanche, which deposited debris 3000' below the crown.
