Comments
Noticed an avalanche in upper mineral fork. There was wind affect on the slope. It looked about 150ft wide and ran over 600ft. SS-ASu-R2-D2. It appeared someone was caught in the slide based off of tracked and odd tracks leaving the debris.
We also noted a similar slide that ran over 1000ft in Mongo No that was skier triggered.
East winds had some odd effects as usual and there where touchy pockets. We also noted dry loose avalanches moving slow.
First photo is the the slide by Santiago, second is the one one Mongo No.
