- <p>Amazing I dug a hand pit and there was new snow sitting on an ice crust which was sitting on a fine bed of facets. However very little cracking and no large collapes were whitnessed.</p>
Seems like danger rating is very dependent on terrain choice. I would suspect problems could be found on steeper terrain.
Any problem encountered could have large consequences with this much new snow.

- <p>So it appeared that the new snow did not add enough weight to tip thing over the edge today. That said I was in fairly mild terrain. Also there is still not that much snow on the ground up Mill D. I did measure a few places with a total of 30" but the more common depth is 20".</p> <p>Settlement cones were observed later in the day.</p>
