Quick report

Collapsing
widespread

We experienced so much collapsing that we adjusted our plan. The weather matched the forecast with calm winds and moderate gusts. Sky: OVC New precipitation 3-4" This was day two of a Level 1 avalanche course (Sunday). We thought layers between the storm snow from Friday night and the old snow would be bonding, but on Sunday it was very evident that they had not.
