Quick Observation
Beautiful day at Bald Hills. There's been much less wind affect here than at the Icefields. There was a size two wind slab on a steep roll that looks like it was from the previous 24 hours. The snowpack in the area is quite variable. There are a variety of facet layers, wind slabs and crusts in the upper snowpack. One snowpit we dug had no notable shear. The other that is posted here had the extended column fail relatively easily. Good idea to treat each new slope with caution and do some investigation before committing.
