Natural avalanches in Ward Canyon

Touring the berkely ridge area today, I was able to see two large natural avalanches on twin peaks & the cindercone that occured during the recent storm cycle.

In our zone, we encountered some wet instabilities in the form of pinwheels and rollers on northely aspects that were actively getting sun. We encountered some glopping on both skies and skins and significant dripping from trees. Snow unaffected by sun or dripping from trees was still soft leading us to seek out shade as much as possible. By around 1 PM, the wind picked up to around 10 MPH with some clouds appearing along the sierra crest. No other signs of instability in the snow were observed.
