- <p>Observed some WL activity as expected, as well as one recent persistent slab/wet slab, full depth, 10,600, W, occurred 4/26, maybe 25. Lots of existing cracks around where the snow pack has been collapsing/settling/cooking down.</p>
Poor picture of wet slab W 10,600
Timing is key this time of year, along with sharps (ski and boot crampons & axe), don't find yourself on steep slide for life terrain without the proper tools, or on a steep mush slope too late in the day. Don't find yourself stuck on the road trying to drive to high on supportable frozen snow in morning and trenching/stuck as soon as it warms. Road's are rapidly melting out.

- <p>Predictable WL problems exist. One wet slab on steep W aspect with some near by cliffs.</p>
Snow on the northerlies is still cooking down with cold snow under the new MF. Southerlies and off's are much more consolidated. With sky and temp patterns Northerlies were going off between 11:00-12:30. Westerlies little later especially with cooling winds.
