I-New/Old InterfaceComments:
Most of these were triggered by steep rock slabs shedding snow onto steep slopes below. Some D1 with a couple D1.5. Larger slides may have gouged below the 4/20 interface into the snow from 4/19. Warming of snow surface primarily driven by air temps, not as much sun. Photos were taken hours after avalanches occurred, once the clouds cleared.
