Crowns galore: Morning avalanche obs

Date of Observation: 02/07/2021
Name: Zach Guy

 

Zone: Northwest Mountains and Southeast Mountains

 

Avalanches: See photos, numerous D2 to D3 slides near and above treeline. Many of these were first observed yesterday morning, I’m just adding some higher res photos. We didn’t have views of the Ruby Range yesterday so some of these are new observations, although the timing is uncertain. The slide above Axtell’s Green Lake likely ran last night (maybe initiated by cornice fall?) because I didn’t see those crowns yesterday. Will add estimated sizes and aspects later tonight.
