Weather
Cold W’ly wind. Temps ‘mild’ given its the first day of winter. Just a few clouds around. Hopefully the hero’s at the CAIC can upload my video
Snowpack
Hard deck in the open, bottomless facets in the trees. Lovely
Avalanche
6 on E-NE aspects above TL above Black Gulch. Estimate they ran near or soon after last storm cycle. I suspect they were triggered by cornice fall HSNR2D2. Ran 1,000 to 1,500 vertical. Each 100+ feet wide. Could not determine crown depth due to serious wind deposition on going. Pretty good size debris piles. This is a very active area so not surprising at all
