Quick report

Field day turned to windshield survey. 

  • Observed three natural avalanches that were not previously reported. These likely failed sometime during the storm. More info in the avalanche tab. 
  • We observed active wind transport in southern Glacier National Park near Marias Pass. Did not observe transport on any other peaks.
