Snowpack
Dense new snow sitting on old, pronounced NSFs. At 9600' N aspect I would have thought there would have been some wind loading from yesterday and perhaps some wind slab concern, but no. Only new snow and wind blown snow from this morning. New snow depth did not exceed 10cm. No cracking or slab instability observed in the AM (back at car by 11am). However, sluffing definitely increasing through the morning- skier triggered on just about every turn above 35 degrees and naturals running on terrain above 40 degrees. Dense snow not running fast or far, but fairly small sluffs packed a pretty good punch.
