I counted 11 natural avalanches in Muddy Creek that failed during the tail end of the storm. They mostly appear to be storm slab avalanches, but some may have broken deeper.

Notes

We (GNFAC) observed many (6+) natural avalanches while riding on Buck Ridge. Many looked to be breaking under the storm snow (3+feet; 2.7" SWE), but some looked deeper. We deduced that these ran on Monday, 8 February, because there was only a few inches of snow covering the debris.
