None ExperiencedToday from our tour in the Lakes Basin it was easy to see a few avalanches coming out of the Hole in the Wall area. There were even tracks in the hole itself, but it was difficult to tell if the skier was involved in triggering the thin slab on the side wall of the gully. Debris was also visible in the neighboring gullies. Presumably this was from a similar avalanche type given the pattern of the terrain, even though it was hard to distinguish crowns in the neighboring paths.
