I was riding outside of the advisory area today, but I stopped to snap some photos of recent avalanche activity as were were driving through Turnagain Pass. We saw natural avalanches on the front side of Seattle Ridge and a remote-triggered avalanche on the Eddie’s Headwall (more info on the Eddie’s avalanche in this observation)
