From obs on 12/29: "On our way out near the cabin I cut a line close to a creek to see if I could trigger something."
On Saturday (12/28) we saw a small avalanche along Lionhead Ridge while riding (photo).
From the highway, with binoculars, we also saw a larger avalanche north of Lionhead Ridge in a large lower elevation steep meadow. This one appeared 1-2' deep and 150-200' wide, possibly slightly wind-loaded, but not a heavily/typical wind-loaded slope.
We also got a vague report of a rider who was partially buried with their sled.
Likely the same up high, at the house on Horse Butte the storm snow has been increasing in density dramatically since morning.

We received a vague report of a partial burial in the Lionhead area after a snowmobiler unintentionally triggered an avalanche. The slide was reported to a homeowner near the Denny Creek trailhead. The homeowner is friends with several members of Fremont County search and rescue. One of which happened to be with GNFAC Forecasters today.
