Notes
We triggered an avalanche in the second Yellow Mule off Buck Ridge on 2/6/2020. It is on a small roll/cornice "in the flats". It broke within the current 2-3' storm snow,18-24" deep.
We also saw a couple natural avalanche crowns 10-18" deep lower down the drainage. I'm sure there were a ton more crowns there, and probably everywhere. through the forecast area. Visibility was limited to 50-100'.
