Observations

Images made within an hour of sunset on 12/22/20. Images of note include a possible buried crown at the Red/Lundin shoulder, possible crowns beneath the rocks low beneath Red/Lundin, tracks (and today's reported ski-cut slabs) on Kendall, and debris below Rampart's Toilet Bowl.

These images are shared in continued support of NWAC's curiosity about the extent of this week's avalanche cycle.
