- <p>Sensitive 4-6 inch soft slabs, sensitivity seemed to decrease throughout the day. No remoting observed, just propagation from skis.</p> <p> </p> <p>Failure plane was within the new snow, on a layer of stellars 1" above the old surface. Don't expect this instability to last more than a day or two, unsure if it will fail under the next 1.4"-2.4" of water forecast for Thursday morning through midday Friday.</p>
