Cracking
isolated

New snow accumulation was very dependent on aspect and trees ranging from an inch on top of hardpack to almost waist deep. Wind affected snow and cornices were cracking pretty consistently.

Made a single turn into a steep north-facing chute and triggered a slide. The snow was definitely wind blown and moved on top of a decently hard crust.
