Comments
Notorius, repeat running slide path that already ran during the first major storm event back in October. Ran this time sometime during the storm event of Dec 12-14. Incremental loading over the course of 48 hrs brought up to 20" of snow at 1.5 SWE. Underlying snowpack is weak and faceted due to late October snow and mid November dry spell.
