Quick report

Cracking
widespread
Collapsing
specific

Tour around the Wolverine basin, primarily on northerly aspects. Plenty of steep slopes along the road to skin up to Wolverine basin. Widespread cracking with sometimes sporadic collapsing. When walking on small rollovers/convex slopes there was easy propagating big cracks and collapsing. Some slopes would sluff the top storm slab of 6-10 inches. Occasionally gouging deeper into faceted snow beneath. Some slopes showed recent small slides. Skied open low angle meadows to avoid steep slopes back out.
