- <p>Experienced no collapsing or significant cracking at mid and high elevations. No visible recent avalanches but visibility was pretty limited.</p>
Did a very quick CT (8800', NE) and got a failure at the Solstice snow. The weak layer is a mixture of graupel and small facets. There is a 10-15cm 1F layer above this and about 30 cm of snow sitting on top that is 4F/Fist and very SOFT.
Still stayed clear of 35+.
Winds tonight and tomorrow will likely have major impact across the range.
Snowpack
Snow has started to settle a little bit from yesterday's ultra-light density. Trailbreaking was a grunt but the slab beneath is totally supportable. Noticed some surface cracking where the wind was starting to have its way.
