Notes

From YCSP: "One of our patrollers spotted a snowmobile triggered avalanche on Cedar Mountain this afternoon. The patroller reported a track entering and exiting the path. The slope was NE facing at approximately 8,600’. It was difficult estimating the dimensions of the sl slide s the visibility was limited and we were quite a ways from the avalanche."
