Notes
A small slab avalanche in the upper valley. A northeast aspect around 10,000'.
Also, there appeared to quite a bit more (thin) storm slab activity that occurred up Republic Creek yesterday (both east and west aspects). I'd hypothesize that most of the slides that ran yesterday, were on the density change within the new snow.
