General Observations

Went for a drive up around 35 mile.  Noticed multiple natural avalanche ( N/ S/SW ~ 4-5500’) from the last storm cycle.  Noted that the crows went up/over/around terrain features and some had large/wide propagation. Also noted the starting zones were typically lower on the slope (protected).  Seems like the characteristics of buried surface hoar and/or advanced facets?
