Tons of crowns seen on all aspects of mineral fork from the ridge with Cardiff, and a few SE facing off of Kessler into the side of George's bowl. Most looked like they were buried under the new snow from yesterday (so ran sometime during storm), but the one on East Fork looked fairly fresh - guess is that it ran sometime Sat? Only looked from a distance, but the crown looked pretty deep (3-5ft?) on lookers left.

Also noted another smaller natural (last photo) on a SW aspect just under the top of George's Bowl - drains into E Fork. Thought this was noteable since it isn't an aspect that has seen as much activity?
