Finger chutes in the Sherwins

Noticed a natural avalanche that slid sometime around 9:30am in the finger chutes from my window. Two slides near poop chute also occurred around the same time, but I didn’t get any pictures. The slide in the main avy path appeared to start near the ridge line and ran almost all the way to the bench before the meadow, but I couldn’t see a crown, it looked like the wind had filled it back in.
