Recent Full Depth Avalanches

Selkirks - Adamants/Gothics Group

Avalanche Conditions

We have been moving around the Gothics and Adamants for the last week and have recently observed two, natural, full-depth avalanches on unsupported, north facing slopes above 2500m. In both cases the propagation was limited, but the depth was somewhat alarming! See attached photos.
