Notes
From skiers in Cooke 1/9/21:
"Observed a couple of recent, new snow, wind slab avalanches that appeared to occur during the storm. Upper elevation, N-E aspects, all very steep, wind loaded terrain. Most appeared to be triggered by cornice falls, and nothing propagated very wide from what I could tell."
"Wind slab on East face of Sheep mountain today. D1.5,mid slope".
