Drove down to Manitoba to look for recent avalanches before doing a quick field day in Turnagain.

We saw 3-4 recent avalanches in the area, see photos. The largest was at about 3500' on a west aspect just north of Moose Creek (USGS map), estimated size from the highway is D2.5. Wide propagation across an upper bowl possibly on a layer of buried surface hoar.
The next two were side by side and partially filled in so I don't know how recent they are. These avalanches were on a south aspect at about 3500' above Moose Creek. Estimated size D2.
We also saw a recent wind slab/cornice fall at about 3000' on a west aspect above Weber creek. Estimated D2.
Avalanche N of Moose Creek at 3500' on W aspect, estimated D 2.5
Zoomed in view of crown from ~D 2.5
Side by side avalanches that are partially filled in with wind transport at about 3500' on the S aspect above Moose Creek, estimated D2.
