Wterman update article 9/10http://www.theskichannel.com/news...ick-Metcalf-Tells-The-Ski-ChannelWhere is "Avalanche canyon" exactly? I hope we can find out soon how much of the trees did (or did not) burn. |

I'm pretty sure it is this canyon...ACME map link...at mile marker 55.44 (just east of Winston Springs about .4 miles). | ||||

Avalanche Canyon is the favorite of out of bounds skiers at Mt. Waterman.
As the name implies, this canyon can produces nice size snow slides under the right conditions. The canyon drains north from the Waterman ridge. The mouth of the canyon spills out over Hwy 2 at the lower left of the "switchback" that ends at Cloudburst Summit. Scott. |

Lame, but at least they're on it:
-inciweb Also, while heat is up and RH down, the winds aren't supposed to be as strong tomorrow so there seems to be a good chance this little spot won't do anything other than age some of us prematurely. |

i took a look at the wilson cam, seems to be some smoke just south of twin peaks | ||||
| Layne Cantrell |
Lookin' pretty good tonight as of 6:30 or so. Not sure if we'd even be able to see all the hot spots from Wilson, but right now (crosses fingers) there is a lot less smoke than there was earlier. |

Okay, I'm going crazy for sure now. I swear I saw two distinct smokes from Mt. Wilson to the north - five minutes later they were gone. Either I'm nuts, following too closely, or the firefighters are really good. Probably a combination of all three. |

after a large fire like this, small areas in the interior of the fire perimeter will often smolder for sometimes a few months, and occasionally, light up a tree or bush. I saw some smoke too for about 20 min near Chilao, but then it was gone. Usually nothing major to worry about if its well away from the line. | ||||

Alas, apparently the one near twin peaks IS the line. Official word is "containment" will be reached when it rains. I guess that means this fire will be "controlled" and "contained" at pretty much the same time. |
