Snowpack

• Snowpack Description: We saw three triggered avalanches at Berthoud today. Also, it appeared that one of the Indians had a natural (probably cornice triggered) avalanche sometime yesterday or today. Hard to estimate anything from where we were -- best guess is 350' vertical, starting at 12,100' - east southeast aspect.
