Another avalanche observation from the Lakes Basin today.  Crown was one of the more striking on the skyline.  After a snowstorm depositing 20 inches or more it is hard to imagine old avalanche crowns would still be visible.  This is an example of one that ran in a previous storm and then repeated in the last 24 hours.
