Quick report

I observed a small avalanche with a setttled crown face of 14" (new snow) that was rider triggered on Saturday January 4th. This was on a southerly aspect at 9,100' and ran on a melt freeze crust. It was 40' in width and on a short test slope so really only ran 15' vertical.

Snowpack

14" settled snow depth with a light rime crust on the surface.  Rime crust was spotty above 9,300' and isolated to zones that were on the windward side. Crust noted all the way to 10,200' in elevation.
