Observations

D3 avalanche on Round Mtn. Looked like 1-1.5m crown. Photos attached. P slab. Also one below Mt. Humphreys above M reservoir, maybe size 2.5 but pretty wide propagation of around 200m. Some size 1-2 windslabs observed, but not many, on NE-SE aspects, where would be expected in the terrain. Steep SE aspects see small loose wets below 10,000’ near radiators.
