Comments
Spent the night in White Pine, so the first observation is from 1/23. This is just below the pass S of the Spire
Comments
This was spotted 1/24 and was W facing at about 9800' in the trees lookers R of Tri Chutes. This was a small natural avalanche, perhaps 2' deep 40' wide and appears to be down to the old snow.
Comments
There looks to be an avalanche that occurred during the storm off Red Baldy, I don't have too much info but although it looks unclear in the photo, the avalanche I would guess was 100' wide with the depth unknown.
