Comments
Noticed three avalanches on Murdock today. All looked relatively recent so we suspected that they may have happened during the second round on snow and wind late on 11/29. Even today, after much of the snow had stopped, the wind was still loading these slopes. Of the three, the first photo is not one that runs very often. The others avalanche frequently.
