Observed avalanche activity: Yes
Avalanches: Nothing big, but made me decide to shorten the dog walk. This was on the road to Gothic. It was along first little downhill in the first tree grove. Look natural or remote triggered from below. About 75 yards across, sliding from 10 to 30 feet to the road. Crown looked to be about 6 to 8 inches, basically the new snow on hard frozen layer.
