Steep creek 1950m

Widespread natural avalanche cycle from monday nights rain, all aspects all elevations. 5cm new surface snow. 10cm thick breakable crust at 1950m, with a crumbly almost facet-like composition. Uneven failure CT8. 25cm of good 1-finger ‘bomber’ coastal snow below the crust and on top of a layer of surface hoar, which is 40cm below snow surface. The 1cm surface hoar feathers are surprisingly well preserved. Failing CT14 or so, resistant planar. Nearly all unsupported convex terrain and most supported convex terrain has avalanched on this layer. There’s almost no ‘good ski terrain’ at steep creek that did not slide. 5cm below that SH is a second weak interface, which failed in one column at ct12 instead of the SH. That layer sits between 5cm of ‘good snow’ below the SH, and about 40cm of one-finger density, rounding facets to ground. Right at ground, there are 5-10cm of sharper, less dense facets. About 1mm. Ski conditions ‘as bad as it gets.’ It’s knee-blowing breakable crust to the top, seriously experts-only ski conditions and super-duper not recommended. South facing slopes have less reactive SH (CT21, resistant) that looks like it got some sun before last weeks snow, less snow (65cm) and similar crust character. The SH is on a crust on south slopes. South facing slopes in general have had less avalanche activity than other aspects.
