Widespread avalanche cycle on Northerly Aspects. Several were large relative to path and some full path. Rain peak and 8302 were the largest observed. Suspected weak layer is near surface facets and Surface Hoar buried on 1/12/21. Some start zones were mid track due to wind loading but the propagation suggest persistent weak layer and must be treated as such.Signs of Unstable Snow
