Quick report
- Cracking
- specific
Snow was very wet at lower elevations and pretty slabby at mid/upper elevations. Saw a recent crown that likely broke in the previous 24 hrs on a North aspect. Skiing was funish, slabby snow transitioning to grabby as we descended with an occasional soft turn in the trees. Considerable wind affect above 5500'. Windslabs were hard and slabby often cracking under weight of a skier. Jumping on slabs would cause them to crack and fail.
