Somewhere on the Road - May 8, 2003
Attached are some photos taken today of the plowing operations, and some loose snow sluffs cascading down Mount Oberlin. The sluffs began at 11:40 and we observed 10 or more. This is a good indicator for the crew, because in their experience these usually proceed any avalanche activity in their work area by several hours. It had been cloudy all morning, and a very brief break in the clouds resulted in these sluffs.

Despite the challenging winter-like conditions, the crew made great progess today...
