Snowpack

Shallow wind loading on SE and W aspects specific to cross loaded terrain features. W aspects N/ATL signs of instability are deceiving. No collapses stubborn to AS yet reactive to explosives. Areas in the UUWW with previously cross loaded features from SW winds slabs are more developed while planer slopes take a little more prodding.
