Quick report
- Cracking
- Observed
Great skiing in low angle trees. Snowing and wind transporting snow on shoulders/ridges all day. Minor cracking and small slabs moving without much energy later in the day. Minor stuffing on steep pitches in the morning, no other signs of instability. As new snow accumulated observed minor cracking, less than ski length. By the afternoon on small steep slopes we were able to trigger small, very soft slabs within the storm snow.
