Out walking around today to see what it all looked like and it wasn't good. Square Top naturalled wall to wall and ran to the base of the slope both sides. While walking up the ridgeline to the top of Cinders I discovered most of Ciders slide and ran through the trees. I was easily able to get the hand fire to slide out. Once on the ridgeline I could see Littlewater slide as well as most of the Nordic Vally ridgeline. All slides were in the new snow and none appeared to have failed at the base, which obviously means the weak snow is all still there. The snow was upside down and heavy. Constant cracking, propagation, and whomping.
