Toured a few miles down the gold mint to ski a line in the shade. Started at noon and the south and south east aspect of Idaho Pk side was very active with point releases. Some seemed to have stepped down or ran on the persistent weak layer.

Avalanche Details

Many crowns on basically all the steep gullies, point releases off the rocks, one slide, maybe from yesterday, hit the summer trail. Some of the point releases seemed to have triggered into the persistent weak layer. We even saw a very small crown in the alders just above the summer trail. We also observed a natural run almost to the summer trail at 1pm.
