Storm snow was cohesive and cracking and propagating on the old snow surface. A ski cut produced a decent slab that then stepped down and entrained more snow. The debris was impressive and ran a ways on lower angled (20 degree) terrain. The new snow was cohesive, but not adhering to the old snow surface.
