Notes

On 2/1/24 GNFAC saw a wide crown in Frazier Basin and a similarly wide crown in another bowl to the north (300-400' wide), from the road with binos. Photos attached. not sure if these occurred recently with the above freezing temperatures or if they are older. they do not appear wet like the others, but I could not see the debris and was generally far away. Also they are in higher terrain favored for cooling effects. But, they easily could have occurred over the recent hot days, potentially triggered by cornice fall? Estimate they happened at start of warm up 1/28 or 1/29, possibly triggered from cornice fall. Ian saw the one to the north on 1/30/24 from Fairy lake area.
