Had multiple slopes slide ontop of old November snow. Upon investigation of crowns, couldn't isolate a column. Q1 shears with lots of energy.

Also noticed a smaller skier triggered pocket on Hanky Panky. Seemed to also slide on older snow, but didn't run very far. Not the place I'd want to be today...

Picture of largest pocket today.
