Quick report
We observed weak layers of graupel in the upper 2 feet of the snowpack but lacked propagation. Wind loading and cross loading was observed widespread throughout our travels. New snow and poor visibility may have hidden recent avalanche activity?
Not much visible? Saw minor sluffing in the upper 20cm, and point releases off steep Rocky outcrops. Saw a lot of aggressive tracks by riders at multiple elevations and aspects and locations.Weather

South winds gusting into the 20mph range at times with intermittent periods of moderate snowfall with medium graupel.
Snowpack
Some impressive graupel layers failed suddenly but lacked propagation maybe due to the soft slab above lacking cohesion.
