Notes

From obs: "Observed a small avalanche while teaching a rec. 1 today for MSU. The light was too flat to see a crown. Based on the light wind, ski patrol obs. and our moving obs., I hypothesize that it was a dry, loose avalanche. L-N-R1-D1.5-I."

Patrol reported: "A midday report from [a skier] that he had released the Duane's C Cornice (out of bounds to the north) as he travelled to the ramp had us looking for any tracks below, none were observed. It looked to step down and pull some older layers as it went through the lower pinch."
