Comments:
Observed a D2-D3 avalanche on McGee Mountain while touring up the trees at the base of Morgan. Looks to have released during this last storm cycle and ran the majority of the Main Gully below the Castle Lines.

Overall condition felt upright and stable, with some evidence of loading on the low angle north facing slope we skied. Collapsing that was felt was above sage brush.
