Some crowning at the ridgecrest, some midslope, and some low on the slope.
Crowns at 4400′ to 2800′. Up to maybe 2′ tall.

Some, not all, appear to have run on the ice crust armor that formed on top of the first storm of the season.
Ski-cut a few 32 to 35 degree mini slopes, they failed, but did not run.
