Notes
On Jan 9 we saw a large avalanche on the north side of Fisher Mtn. that happened at some time in the last week (could have been 48 hours to a week old), regardless of timing, this slide further shows the deeper weak layers are a real problem as snowfall continues to adds weight to the snowpack.
