- Instability Comment
- <p>The danger of avalanches failing on a widespread weak layer consisting of sugary <a href="https://avalanche.org/avalanche-encyclopedia/#facets">faceted snow </a>and/or <a href="https://avalanche.org/avalanche-encyclopedia/#surface-hoar-2">surface hoar</a> will continue to increase and become more widespread as heavy snow and drifting overload slopes steeper than 30° at all elevations...</p>
Nice powder, but perhaps too deep and somewhat slow in <30° terrain, which was not quite steep enough for ideal powder skiing. It was probably pretty great riding, but we left our sleds in town due to slippery road conditions.
