Quick report

Cracking
specific

Sensitive storm slabs 4-8" deep breaking on density changes within storm interfaces. Surprising connectivity and propagation considering the fairly low density and incohesive new snow slab quality. All activity observed was around very steep terrain over 35 degrees. New snow instability increased throughout the day. 

Shooting cracks observed on wind loaded leeward NE aspects in the upper elevations.

Unsure on whether remotely triggered or natural. Based on the tracks above it would appear remotely. Of note this slope increases steepness considerably where it slide vs the track. One other deeper storm slab was observed on a South aspect 8300' crown depth 8" without as large of propagation cross slope.
