Comments
I observed a few fresh natural avalanches on drifted north facing slopes at lower elevations in the Canyon. Mouths and above the North Logan Bench. Probably of most concern was the one in the mouth of Green Canyon threatening the trailhead access road and where there have been a couple other natural avalanches in the last week or so.
