Notes
From email 1/12: "From this morning. Looks to be 1_1.5' deep. Maybe a few different ones based on what I can tell."
Email later on 1/12: "Thinking about it more, that avalanche might have happened last night. (with .4" of SWE at Fisher Creek since 4pm yesterday, and increased wind speeds). Almost a full reset of the surface snow up on west Mt. Henderson this afternoon."
