- <p>Lots of locallized cracking of new snow, up to a foot deep.</p>
I triggered all sorts of localized cracking.... new snow, up to a foot deep
This indicates that the new snow is becoming cohesive enough to act as a slab.
not enough base! facet layer on the ground capped by a melt/freeze crust and less than 10 cms thick, and it only exists on north facing slopes
Periods of heavy snow and strong winds certainly helping to fill in the terrain.

- <p>Potential especially during periods of rapid accumulation...</p> <p>Observed significant drifting of the fresh snow in exposed terrain, even at mid elevations....</p>
Slightly inverted new snow... Heavy snowfall and winds starting to fill in terrain, even trees.
