Quick report

I observed RR faceting on a north-east aspect at 9500'. I don't see that type of near-surface faceting very often, so was exciting to see it.

Saw two,  D1 and D1.5 wind slabs right under the ridge top on the east aspect of Woody Ridge. They look to be a day or two old. Here is a photo of the D1.5. Bad photo, but there is a distinct small crown and the debris didn't run very far.
