- <p>Lots of sluffs on the steepest slopes, and some "slumps" (snow that seemed to try to move based on zones of wrinkles) but no major movement or whoomphs. </p>

- <p>Yes, we've had a lot of new snow, and yes it came in with a variety of PI's, temps, and winds, but....it also seemed to tighten up pretty well with the temp swings?</p> <p> </p> <p>Maybe in places with more wind-hammerage and thus more slab development? </p> <p>Again, I dunno, but with 5-odd inches of water and lots of new snow spread out over Wed-Sunday it seems to me that our PWL issues were either going to roar to life with deep slides or the weight of a rider wasn't going to be the last straw. Fortunately it seems like the latter? </p>
We kept our eyes/feet peeled for slabs from the varying temps and winds of the last few days, but....didn't really see any.
