Notes

Skiers on Monday, Dec. 18 felt collapsing in the Lionhead area. They also saw an old avalanche. It likely occurred at the tail end of last week's storm. 

From obs: "Saw one small natural crown on a NE rocky outcropping around 8k, 1 foot deep and isolated. Felt a lot less collapsing than last weekend, however still found some instabilities. Notably a remote collapse that propagated around 50’ in length at around 8200’ on a NE aspect."
