Stevens Environs

That's it Charlie, locals call 5463 "Susan Jane" and 5863 "Josephine" for the corresponding lakes of course. Crown was at or just above that 5600' line near the "25". Thanks for the hints on photos guys, I'll do more this eve, using daylight outside right now - shovelling and drying out the car!

thanks TN.

I'd like to add that some of the stevens pass area has become very unfeatured and planural, and paths are easily running full distance and beyond.

pillows no more.. this slide started naturally Friday night. at 6,000'+ and ran to 3,500' snapping limbs 10 feet off the ground. it didn't take out any big trees, but it went right through them, and up hill.

Speaking of Stevens, check out this photo taken today from the Helicopter assisted avalanche work.

Where is that? Is it off Cowboy Ridge?

Thats the top of the ridge above the west side of lake Susan Jane. That particular slab has performed in the past, though maybe not so deep. They call it the hanging snowfield. It's visible from anywhere on the south side of the ski area.
