Quick report

Flat light, but enough visibility to see if there were any sharp crown lines. No obviously new crowns from today, looking at the slate, to Augusta, Mineral, and Hancock. Photos attached. Climax remains intact from the angle I was viewing. A small slab in Happy Chutes that ran yesterday. The Great Wide Oppen had widely propagating crowns from avalanches that released yesterday.

A small slab in Happy Chutes that ran yesterday. The Great Wide Oppen had widely propagating crowns from avalanches that released yesterday. I can't see enough of the Great Wide Open avalanches to code them at this time. They were large to very large, and we'll code them when better views come in. There is a random photo of AMR and Ohio peak attached to this ob with a couple of crowns that ran on Wednesday.
