Comments
Looks like this R2 D2.5 ran sometime this week, probably associated with the southerly wind event. Couldn't see a crown. Didn't see much other activity throughout the range on today's flight, with no visible evidence of avalanches from the past week besides this one on South Mountain.
Comments
