Comments
Somewhat difficult to see in the photo, but numerous D2 avalanches in the zone of the Chilly Peak slabs. Several E facing wet avalanches from the last day or two. There was also evidence of older slides on NE cross loaded gullies, which I imagine were from wind slabs from the storm that ended 5 April. There were additional avalanches in Zero G and Cobble Creeky that can't be seen in this photo.
