Notes
On Jan 12, We saw 4-5 avalanche crowns that were up to a week old, some had been reported and a few we had not heard of (3 pictured were previously not reported to my knowledge). One was a 3-4'+thick slab on a rocky heavily wind-loaded slope off Lionhead ridge, and the other two were ~2' deep on less wind affected slopes lower down in the trees, but probably had some previous wind-loading.
