- <p>No cracking or collapsing in new wind drifts but things were loading quickly. primarily on the side with no snow...</p>
Didn't dig any pits or do any formal stability tests, but the snow here was very different than what I've been looking at on PC ridge all week. Slab is rotting or completely gone in most locations - facets top to bottom. I skied one run in main gobblers then back to butler fork exit - which is difficult and thin to say the least. A few pics - bad news for your snowpack when the moose are still grazing at 9500' in January. Cornice forming and wind loading on upper ridge of gobblers. Skis didn't bottom out today, but I was skiing pretty light on my feet.
