Comments
Although the starting zones were mostly obscurred by blowing snow, I could see a couple new broad crowns from natural avalanches that probably occurred overnight (possibly yesterday 3-31-23).
Comments
Intense drifting from this morning's westerly winds. Obviously there is plenty of fresh powder to blow around.
