Rode to the back of Lynx creek, nearly every slope had a recent avalanche, some rather small some very large. We made sure to stay well clear of all avalanche terrain.

We saw more recent avalanches than we could catalog. Some only 50' wide in gullys others over 1000' wide connecting multiple aspects and slopes. The climbers left back bowl avalanched, connecting multiple slopes 1000' wide anywhere from 1'-6' deep. The debris completely filled in all the creeks back there.
