Many natural avalanches along Lionhead Ridge

Rode along Lionhead Ridge from Denny Creek to Watkins Creek and around into the head of Targhee Creek on 1/26/24. Saw dozens of avalanches that broke within the last week. Most of the slides looked to have broken early this week. 1/23/24 date is approximate. Slides broke on all aspects, both above treeline and well below treeline, and on both wind-loaded and nonwind-loaded slopes. All these slides looked to have broken on one of the December surface hoar layers at the top of the early season facets.
