Notes

Multiple reports from today:

1. Noted 2 natural slab avalanches today.  One was a north facing aspect of Mt. Republic, approx. 8500', and estimated to be about 1-2' deep and 40' wide.  And the other was on Town Hill, a SE aspect about 7,800' (photo attached).

2. No camera with me, but observed a natural on a steep roll-over E. of The Gully on Town Hill. N. aspect ~ 8,000'. New snow not well bonded to old snow surface.

3. Saw a small natural happening on the Ozarks. Small naturals on E Republic. Storm snow D1 to 1.5. Wind drifts cracked consistently and we had one localized collapse. The storm and winds slabs were very reactive.
