Quick report
By the time the skies cleared from June and into Tioga, the sun angle created flat light. While I was able to make out debris and crown lines, it was hard to capture. Extreme SW winds and intense blowing snow also filled in crown lines and avalanche paths, and made visibility of terrain from the road difficult. Nonetheless, I was still able to observe some noteworthy crowns and long running avalanches.
