Cracking
isolated

Isolated cracking above 5,000 ft. A couple small slabs cracked at kick turns in one spot on a west aspect at about 5500'. Not widespread. wind slabs did not seem to be prevalent. we skied North and west facing aspects. Travel below about 5,000 or upper 4000s was low tide and difficult with lots of exposed logs and slide alder still. The out track was the crux. the skiing above 5000 was quite good about 2 ft of right side up powder that was well bonded to the surface below. Some cohesiveness in the storm snow at varying depths but nothing alarming.
