Jan 22nd, Rogan's Gully which is in fine shape.

Jan 23rd, avalanche cycle in King Creek: sometime during our walk in in
the cold am and walk out in the warm pm all the W - SW facing gullys
slid into the creek. A couple of them large enough to bury someone
although it wouldn't be hard to get out ot the way if you saw them
coming. Air temps climbed to above 0 through the day and afternoon sun
hit the high slopes. Soft surface wind slabs sliding over 30 cm of
faceted snow sometimes cleaning down to ground.
