Notes

From email: "Saw several recent avalanches on the east side of Saddle Peak on my drive up to Bridger this morning. All looked like naturals, I'd guess most were size R1D1 and one R1D2."

GNFAC forecasters saw the same slides which looked to involve the new snow. Most were R1-D1 dry loose and cornice falls, and there was one R1-D2 in Argentina Bowl that was likely a storm slab.
