4 to 12 inches of low density snow. Moderate northwesterly winds redistributed the snow to leeward features. cloud cover: overcast; wind loading: moderate; recent snowfall (cm): 10 - 25; snow avail for transport: moderate amounts

Wind sheltered terrain did not have a slab avalanche problem in the storm snow through 130pm.  Wind-drifted snow was sensitive underfoot as slabs formed throughout the day.  Some avalanches and cracks broke in the storm snow, and others on facets beneath it.  Aspects on the south half of the compass lack facets above the old crusts, while the north half of the compass sometimes has facets above and below the thin old, rain crust.  Storm totals maxed out close to a foot, but only created a new slab problem with additional windloading. We performed a test profile on a shady east aspect at 11,800 feet.  No results at the new/old interface or on deeper weak layers in a standard ECT.  The February drought interface was around 130cm deep.  Once most of the hard February slab was removed, propagation occurred from heavy blows. . Shooting cracks were common in freshly drifted snow. We triggered a few small avalanches on leeward terrain features. Avalanches released in the drifted storm snow and on weak layers immediately beneath the storm snow.
