- <p>The surface hoar and NSF's are under a heavy load easy to see failing with the test slopes. </p>

Snowpack

- <p>I have received 22 inches of snow (2.1 inches of water) in the past two days at my house which is in the area of of North Ogden Pass. I went up to jump on my favorite test slopes at 6k-6.5k ft. There was wide spread loud collapsing, cracking and the new snow sliding on the surface hoar from last week as seen in the test slope video. This is a similar slope as the slides that came down to the Pass yesterday. I was not on the upper wind blown ridges but would be careful of the wind slab. </p>
Miserable trail breaking and upside down storm in this area. Punchy surface that made me glad I was not on my 210cm Truckers!
