Notes

From Obs: "I skied around the little hills in the basin south of Divide Peak today, and saw quite a bit of recent activity. The southwest corner of Divide Cirque slid on the storm slab and broke 1200-1500’ wide, an east aspect had a crown that exceeded 6’ in places, and the south side of Divide broke 2-6’ deep and ran full track. Things up high are active. I observed no collapsing or cracking, but the signs of instability were still pretty clear"
