From an observation on 2/16: "My partner and I skied off the north-north east ridge of Mt Blackmore into the Fox Creek drainage and observed five recent, naturally-triggered avalanches from the recent storm. Three D1 avalanches were scattered across the bowl from the north, northeast and north-northeast aspects next to exposed rock-outcroppings but were too small to capture in a photo. A fourth, D3 R3 avalanche occurred at approximately 9200' on the north a aspect that appeared to have broken right at the bedrock and slid approximately 200 vertical feet. Crown looked to be up to 6' deep and 600 feet across. The fifth, D3 R4 avalanche occurred at approximately 9400' on the north-northwest facing asp aspect a narrow meadow. Crown was approximately 8' deep and 30 feet across (the width of the meadow). There was rapid wind-load loading ll occurring on the aspects of the two D3 avalanches covering up their slid slide hs and we observed significant wind-load loading cracking off the northeast ridge line."
From a separate group on 2/16: "Took a walk up near Blackmore today to take a look at a NE facing a aspect We did not ski our objective because we observed active w wind loading and saw many recent avalanches.
The first picture is looking at Alex Lowe Peak from the west ridge of Elephant. There were 5 avalanches clearly visible. I highlighted the crowns/debris paths with red.
The second picture is a close up of the avalanche on the ridge between Elephant and Blackmore on a south aspect . This one was the largest and the most fresh. All avalanches appeared to be naturally triggered from wind loading .
We also saw an avalanche looking north from the NE ridge of Elephant over the east ridge of Blackmore. The avalanche was on a south/southeast facing hill and looked like it broke at the ground. It was pretty sizable. We didn't get a picture, but this looks like it would've been visible from the east ridge of Blackmore looking north."
Forecasters visited the area on 2/21/2020: Saw over 15 old avalanches. Estimate an additional 8 that the above groups did not report, so a total of 18+ in the area during the cycle.
