Today we went into the Flathead Range to observe south-facing aspects for wet loose activity.
We felt very comfortable skiing avalanche terrain on north-facing slopes while avoiding being directly beneath corniced ridgelines.
We counted 10 notable avalanches running down to low elevations. Just about every path had debris in it. Likely occurred during the early February cycle. We also noticed that numerous trees had been stripped of their branches. Unable to identify if they were from a Deep Slab off of Nyack or from an adjacent path. Impressive.
Couldn't see the chunks. Only the piece that fell off, and the surface on the face of the slope it ran down. I could not find any evidence of a slab avalanche below.
