Only had views of some below treeline terrain. Many persistent slab avalanches in the past 24 hours, D1 to D2, in relatively small below treeline features facing W to N to E. One on a terrain feature that ran during the 1/11 cycle. The crown broke a little higher on a lower angle portion of the slope compared to the 1/11 crown. Crowns are all about 2 feet thick, breaking on our January weak layer.
