- <p>We observed significant drifting of the light snow from sustained strong west wind. Triggered wind slab and cornice fall avalanches likely, naturals are possible. </p> <p>Triggered soft slab and loose avalanches are certainly possible. The snow was a bit inverted, heavier on top. We triggered cracking and localized collapses. The weakness was on the interface between this morning's snow and yesterday's snow surface... I couldn't see for sure today, but I did notice small grained faceted surface snow in the area yesterday.</p> <p> We observed a few fresh natural sluffs on very steep slopes involving new snow.</p>
Classic deep Utah Powder conditions. Snow was a bit inverted especially at upper elevations where exposed to wind.
