Notes
Numerous 10-12" SS remote triggered avalanches on anything steep enough to slide where the new snow fell on solar crust. [Natural on] the cliffs on the north side of Companion Lake as you leave the lake heading for the wilderness boundary. Had not avalanched on the way out in the morning, noticed the avalanche on the way back this afternoon. Another avalanche skier triggered on intentional test slope with a solar tilt in the Alp Gulley."
