[MCR] Rockies, Stanley Headwall, Jan 7th

Spent the day climbing on the Stanley Headwall (Uniform Queen). 2 significant avalanche observations.

1. A large size 3 avalanche blew over the top of Nemesis some time between Jan 3rd and 6th. The debris travelled to the trees covering the summer trail.

2. Another size 3 avalanche released naturally at 5pm on Jan 7th. The powder cloud engulfed the valley and the debris coved the tracks from ski tourers who had travelled across the open slopes that morning.
