In 30 years hiking Mile Hi, I have never seen a slide on the NW aspect.
Note: crown is about 4 feet.
It appears that drifting snow recovered some of the exposed area.
January 10, 2020 high winds N and NW. Appear to have cross-loaded the NW aspect of Mile Hi, first hill.
In the last image- there is now a cornice on the SW aspect of Mile Hi, first hill. This is the view from the top of it. It’s a little tricky, because that is already a steep section of the trail, and you don’t realize the last 50’ you’re actually climbing up what is now a low cornice, until you get above it and realize there’s maybe 5’ to 10’ of deposited snow you were climbing up.
