Indications of Instability

Two very small slides were released as a snowmobile drove by.  These insignificant sized slides are indicative of a larger problem: a slab sitting on a weak layer.  Tiny slides are Mother Nature's message that bigger slopes are likely unstable too.  Don't ignore signs of instability, no matter how small.  We had an Avalanche Warning out this day and saw avalanches within a few hundred feet of these.
