While skiing in white pine drainage I saw a large crown on red baldy starting a couple of hundred feet below the summit and running west right up to the edge of rock & roll. Looks like it ran during the storm cycle because it was partially filled in by the last pulse of storm snow. Wish I'd thought to get a picture, but was distracted by the excellent ski conditions.
