These two avalanches occurred after 1400 hour of 20241218 and before 1100 hour of 20241219, most likely as a result of a cornice fall occurring during a period of warming in the afternoon of 20241218, when temperatures reached the 40's.
Of note, the lookers left path is the same path that avalanched on or around 20241216.
