Name: Eric Murrow
Zone: Southeast Mountains
Route Description: Hwy 135 obs
Observed avalanche activity: Yes
Avalanches: Several loose avalanches from easterly aspects yesterday viewed early this morning. A handful more gouging wet loose on easterly terrain and loose/slab hybrid avalanches up to D2.5.
- A couple fresh loose avalanches and a slab below ridge top. I would guess cornice fall triggered the slab but maybe not a Wet Slab release.
- A cornice fall triggered a large slab as it trundled on Sunday or Sunday night and a few fresh loose avalanches ran with some gouging into the snowpack below the cliff bands.
- The two avalanches near ridge top failed on Sunday while the others occurred on Monday. A mix of loose avalanches prying out Wet Slabs during descent.
