From email on 01/13: "Toured into Republic creek with our class. Noted two D2 soft slab avalanches. One on a west aspect and the other on an east aspect at about 9000'. I estimate the crown was 15-40cm deep and likely ran on the same layer as other recent avalanches in the area."
From email on 01/13: "From Miller Ridge today, I had a brief look into Sheep Creek, and to the mountains south of Cooke City, and observed 7 fresh slab avalanches (that happened in the last 1-3 days). Will send photos of them later if I can get better views.
Most of them were on NEerly aspects, and appeared to be on the new/old Jan. 5th interface. Mid and upper elevations, most commonly in wind loaded terrain. Some propagating a few hundred feet wide. "
From email on 01/14: "One crown on the Middle Siren, probably part of the last cycle."
