Avalanches refer to small wet loose. Signs of instability N/A since I was driving.

Bottom Line

A quick glassing drive to Banner revealed a handful of small wet loose avalanches. So far the slides haven't been large or particularly widespread, but that could change as the warming event continues - especially if we stop getting an overnight freeze.

Media/Attachments

Small wet loose avalanche in Swamp Creek south of Copper Mountain.
