Observations
Skied East Peak with generally stable conditions throughout the day. But as we began our decent to the car we observed new wet loose activity a few hundred feet below Bullion Basin that had occurred in the 2-3 hours between our approach and decent.
Wet loose avalanches appeared to be naturally triggered by falling snow from the cliffs and ran down into the uphill track. Elevation of the start zone was ~5,800 ft.
