Wind deposition from new storm on depth hoar in north facing trees glades. spotty cracking/settling on ski run but avoided steeps. Dumped snow from above down onto embankment behind water tower which was wind loaded and very steep and it ran to ground taking old sugar and this wetish storm snow together. 20ish ft slope produced debris pile 3-4 ft deep. so any steep sections or roll overs in the trees could go tomorrow or following days especially with more deposition overnight. Best to avoid steeps and terrain trap gullies in the north facing trees for now.
