Quick report

Collapsing
widespread

Wind effect in many locations exposed to the southerly winds. Pole columns were all over the place in terms of stability. They ranged from breaking on isolation to stable. In areas of suncrust, thee are facets above and below. As Kevin said in today’s forecast, our free ride is over. I avoided steep terrain and travels as per considerable hazrad. Widespread collapsing while breaking trail, nothing huge, more in the subtle reminder range. In areas with and without suncrusts at base of new snow.
