Comments
Despite pesky clouds preventing views of avalanche starting zones, I could see evidence of a fairly widespread natural avalanche cycle on the big east facing slopes in the Wellsville Range including a few repeaters and some pretty large slides, including one in Bird Canyon that came all the way down to Maple Bench.
