[MCR] Avalanches in the Ten Peaks area. Bident

[Public Mountain Conditions Report]

Yesterday we observed 2 large (size 2.5-3) avalanches on steep loaded north
east aspects in the Ten Peaks area. One failed below the seracs on the
Chouinard route on Mt. Fay and one on the north east glacier of Mt. Bident.
Both failed on glacier ice or firn snow and had crowns about 1 metre deep.

For anyone planning some late season alpine climbing, use extra caution on
steep loaded northerly aspects.
