Notes
We saw up to five recent avalanches from the last few days. 1-2 looked to have failed on PWLs, and the rest were wind slabs. Cornice collapses triggered at least two of these avalanches.
1. Cornice triggered wind slab in Sunlight Basin
2. Cornice triggered avalanche in Sage Creek
3. Likely PWL avalanche W of Kirkwood Ridge, lower in Cabin Creek
4. Older wind slab SW flank, Sage Peak
5. Likely PWL avalanche backside of Sage Peak
