Avalanches: On a tour up Strand Hill noted multiple SS avalanches on the S facing hillside above the East River Trail. Several appear to have reached or crossed the trail. Every steep (>40 degrees?) section of that hillside had slid above the 1st mile or two of the trail. Looked to have occurred in the past 48 hours or so? Several pocket slabs below the trail had occurred as well.
Weather: Bluebird becoming breezy in the p.m.
