Notes
1. "I saw two crowns from the ridge at 1430 today (2/4). One on the lower heavily wind loaded shoulder and one up high in the middle of the path. Not sure if they connected, or were separate. R3-D2.5. 2-4’ deep. The higher one was partially drifted in. My guess is ran yesterday with east winds or early today."
