Avalanches in Taylor Fork

Activity
Snowmobiling

We toured into Carrot Basin and Sage Creek this morning. The storm ended and skies were broken by 1000. The spx is about 1M deep and the surface conditions are soft and excellent in most areas with wind effect along the ridges. At about 130 we moved from carrot to sage creek and notcied three small and one large avalanche along cabin creek divide that were not present earlier in the day. Most looked remote and were isolated pockets (R1/D1). As we rounded the corner into sage there was one fresh larger slide (R2/D2) at about 9,400' on a NE facing slope. It appeared to be natural (remote?), failed at the ground and was about 200' wide and ran for 200' the crown was 2-3' deep.
