NEComments:
Fresh snow on debris dates the slide to no later than noonish 1/21/21. Depth of flanks is apx 40 cm. (What looks like a bigger crown is not, it's a pillow like others on that slope.) Length is about 50 meters. It could easily have run farther but didn't. Tatoosh overlooking Louise Lake.Photo:

Hoar frost at 5200' and all over these NE slopes on Saturday as Sunday's storm approached. Sorry for the late obs, we got interrupted by an incident and I forgot to send it in.
