General Comments

The slopes above Fairview creek just below the local snow board area have had small slides after the last storm. the group of two small slide are new and larger. Both slides look to be from yesterday. A third slide was spotted at the big drift were the snowmobiles high mark, snowmobiles were high marking there this afternoon in that area. This slide was small about mid slope, could not tell if it was released by snowmobiles.
