Comments

I noticed evidence of a fairly widespread natural cycle in the Wellsville Range from Friday's windy conditions...Most of the apparent activity involved shallow soft slabs and only the top layer of snow....Likely failing on surface hoar....

Here's a photo of one in Bird Canyon off Mendon Peak....
