Notes
Two natural avalanches near Lionhead Ridge likely broke during the storm on Christmas Eve. One s slide appears to have broken on a w weak layer in the middle of the snowpack, while the other only involved the new snow. Both were less than 100 ft wide and ran a couple hundred feet. They were on south east and northeast facing slopes at around 9000 ft.
