- <p>Density change in new snow producing cracking. Lots of new, low density snow and lots of wind to move it around.</p>
Strong wind at times today effecting all slopes well off ridge line. Pic of the wind action at the bottom of WIlls' Hill Lots of snow being transported to the N. through E. facing. Just a mild tap on the cornice produced a sympathetic fresh wind drift to crack and run along the north facing ridge line of about 100' (pic of the small tap and propagation). This was new snow only, it didn't break into anything deeper. Felt like more teasing could have easily gotten both Monitor's to release but am hoping for a real snow pack in this area this year so I let them be. Attached pic of wind slab. Also a natural cornice drop in S. Monitor but could not tell how far it ran (poor vis);

- <p>Snow on North through East facing is a bit twitchy. </p>
Snow off ridge lines soft and fun.
