Driving home from the resort last night noticed 2 Avalanches near the mouth of the South fork of Gurtsens Canyon... started high and ran a long way down the slope guessing 1000' x 500' Wide. Caught a photo of it but not great, will try and get up again and get better shot. Based on results from the past 4 days I would assume it rain on rain/moist basal facets layer, likely overloaded from the wind, high pif, and swe from Fri-Sun.
