Description of Snow, Weather, and Avalanche Conditions: 

Took a picture of Mt Tallac today and noticed some crowns. There is a crown lookers left of the summit, it looks skier triggered as there are some tracks at the apex of the crown. The other large avalanche I noticed was in the lower left quadrant of the main photo, this one seems to be at least a few hundred feet wide and started in a gully. Both of these look to be windsland avalanches.
