Was curious if the storm snow and wind from earlier in the week created any avalanches in the Dark Canyon area. Not sure if this one was already reported, but looks noteworthy.

Very clear wind-loading of this slope, notice the dramatic change in snow depth.

Previous wind loading on a variety of aspects, but a good shot of a loaded southeast aspect from NW winds on 1/23 possibly.

Hard to tell, but this shot into Upper Horse Creek looks like a crown that has been filled back in. Possibly ran earlier this week.

Interestingly almost fluted sastrugi.
