Quick report

Cracking
specific

Triggered several small storm slab avalanches on steep roadcuts along the skin track. Also found areas of shooting cracks in areas that were not steep enough to slide. New snow totals were above knee height, and downhill skiing was nearly impossible on slopes that were not steep. We opted to ski out on the skin track due to downhill ski conditions.
