Notes
We saw two avalanches while riding along Buck Ridge on 12/17. These likely broke overnight on 12/16. One was a storm slab avalanche on the far (southwest) side of Buck Creek - broke 2-300 ft wide and ran ~500 vertical feet. The other was a similar, but smaller slide in 3rd Yellowmule (~100 ft wide and ran ~200 vertical ft).
