General Comments

The most noteworthy one was at the bottom of the Folly, SW aspect, about 200' long crown that ran at least 200' (couldn't see the bottom)--just north of the Little Mountain. Crown height 1' or more at 7,800 ft -- the same height as the top of the little mountain. It looked like this one ran into the gully on the north side of Little Mountain and ran after the storm. Not sure the trigger; saw snowshoe tracks heading up Little Mountain, but they did not seem to go over towards the slide.
