Snow Profile Comments
I dug around a couple times in the vicinity of the tri chutes and found this to be a density change within the new snow. Three other avalanches were found as well in upper white pine and seemed to be naturals from early this morning, likely when PI rates were super high in the early hours. The other 3 off Red Baldy and Lake Peak were quite a bit shallower
