Notes
On May 14 and 15 we saw crowns and debris of wet slabs that ran naturally over the past couple weeks.
Scotch Bonnet, S aspect, 9800'; Sheep Mtn. SW aspect, 9800'; Crown Butte, SE aspect, 10000'.
Hard to say exactly when they all occurred. The slides on Scotch Bonnet and Sheep appeared slightly fresher, but could have been a week old.
