Update: There were 3 avalanche fields to deal with, however the Forest Service was up there as I was descending. The first debris field is around 10,600. It has been cleared. The 2nd debris field at about 10,800 (picture) May/May not be cleared. FS was not sure they could get it cleared or have time. Debris field #3 is minor with a few quakes aspen trees at about 11k. Snow on the ridge is avoidable. Photos (click for slideshow):
