Quick report

Cracking
widespread

Complex snowpack with poor structure. Both problems (wind slab and persistent slab) looking reactive. Theorizing that windslab could've stepped down to persistent slab on the Three Bowl Avalanche. Signs of wind events are obvious and a skiff of new snow. Cracking but not much collapsing today. High traffic might already cause all collapsing it could ? Saw some BIG avalanches though
