Avalanches: The big slide off the peak area of Gothic ran, I believe between 1-3 p.m. today. Ran off old snow and no where did it run to ground, but had a decent amount of debris. A size 3 (I do not know new system) with a guess of a fracture 3-4 feet deep and ran about 2700 feet. Also some little sluffs up the valley.
Weather: a record high of 47F today.
Snowpack:
