Isolated pockets of wind slab will be found in exposed areas at upper elevations over an old snow interface of facets, sun crust, wind effect, or surface hoar. 3 crusts extend into the lower limits of the alpine and are sitting dormant in the snowpack, the Nov 24 crust seems to be providing mid-pack strength over a lower, rotted, Halloween layer
