Notes
We saw one old, but very large persistent slab avalanche further up Republic Creek (pictured). It was on similar aspect and elevation as a somewhat more recent persistent slab in nearby Hayden Creek, North-northeast, 10,000'. It appeared to be 6'+ deep and 500'+ wide. The bed surface and crown had been partially drifted in, so it seemed it was probably at least a week old...
