Observations

Two larger avalanche crowns above Entiat River Rd observed while driving. In Steliko Canyon I heard whumphing when on short steep test slopes near the rd. Also observed short cracks in snow pack when moving through. There is deep snow (2-4’+) that is much more dense than in town in Wenatchee and very challenging to travel through.
