Confirming the day's forecasted wet avalanche activity with the usual suspects on Mt Ogden. Multiple natural D1-D2 releases running a maximum of 300ft of vert, largely starting from rocks on SW and W aspects between 9300 and 8800ft elevation.

Worth noting the D2 starting in the trees at 8800ft on a northwest aspect as well.
