Comment
Pic of Winston cyn, looking southeast from hwy 2 at natural slide. Slide occurred on north-northwest aspect and had occurred in the last 6 hours due to no new pine needles on surface. Could not see source or estimate length. It did have some large blocks in deposition zone. We seen this driving back from buckhorn today at noon. Snow is riding great despite the wind loading and cross loading. We experienced wind primarily from north-northwest but that fluctuated 90⁰ either way. Wind yesterday and today continue to transport snow. Sunday was not very windy.
