CT's failed at the ground on large grain basal facets with medium to hard effort - CT16-CT22. No results on ECT's.

Weak, shallow snow pack in the Uintas. With 1.5"+ of water weight forecasted by Tuesday I would imagine the scales will tip. South winds are ramping up this evening and there is plenty of soft snow available for transport before it starts snowing. Slides failing at the ground or stepping down to the ground would not surprise me once the snow statrs in earnest.
