From Email:
"Observed a fresh natural avalanche this afternoon on Woody Ridge. The avalanche occurred on a NW aspect, around 9200' (likely last night). I'd estimate the size to be 1-3' deep, and about 100' wide.
No other avalanche activity observed today. (ski tour up Republic Creek this morning, low visibility while I was up there).
No collapsing. Minor cracking of the fresh, dense wind drifts, though they felt quite stubborn.
New snow: about 10", dense/ rimed forms."
