Quick report

Cracking
widespread

Touring near the benson hut, we saw storm slab instabilities as early as 9am this morning. Cracking was widespread throughout the day on all aspects. Strong winds picked up in the afternoon and signs of wind transport were abundant. All instabilities appeared to be within the new storm snow and had not impacted the Feb 10 facet layer yet.
