Notes
3 fresh natural slab avalanches were seen on E aspects in Republic Creek, 8500-9400’ in elevation, that broke on 3/3/22. These slab avalanches were 1-2' deep and up to around 100' wide. One appears to have been triggered by a pine marten.
A half dozen small slabs released off the mid elevation south aspects of Mineral Mtn and a large slide broke on the NE aspect and ran 1600 ft.
A natural avalanche was seen on Climax in Hayden Creek - broke approximately 100 ft wide an ran over cliffs and rocks.
