Picture # 1 taken at 0900 on 20200427: No activity. Picture # 2 taken 1130 on 20200428, and it appears that there were several Loose Wet Avalanches that Naturally released from at least 9500 feet and down. And, at 8800 feet it appears that there was a Wet Slab that Naturally released on the lower/final steep convex rollover. Of note, I took a picture of this Avalanche at 1830 on 20200427, but the light was not good enough to show the immensity of this activity, and especially the lower Wet Slab activity. Therefore this Avalanche had to occur during the afternoon of 20200427. Depth of Wet Slab unknown.
Finally of note: there were also several similar Loose Wet Avalanches that released on the NE aspect of the Catcher's Mitt, and observed at 1830 on 20200427.
