I happens to be at Lake Serene this morning on the bridge at the lake. Heard one avalanche to my right followed by a second.In the Photo, x3 zoom from the bridge, you can see the two avalanches to either side of the rock face.
Signs of Unstable Snow
None reported
Observations
The terrain I saw the avalanche was not currently accessible by foot around the lake to the west side. I would be equally concerned in the snowfields leading to the lake. The last .5 miles you cross 2 avalanche potential fields. Even with microspikes and poles people were falling, post holing, finding tree wells, and sliding down the snow face.
