Observation: Lower Weber Drainage

I got out today and ventured into some avalanche terrain to see what it looked like and hopefully get a ski in. After taking a safety run, I was able to verify this slope had in fact slid large before or at the onset our last storm cycle and most cornices had collapsed on their own weight. East faces naturally sluffed mid-day today thanks to all the sun while steep north slopes sluffed slow and manageable when skied.

The snow is mostly soft powder on top a bomber hard snowpack however some of the snow is faceting on the surface making for super-fast noisy turns.  Track penetration is less than a foot closer to 6 inches in most places. Wind loading was minimal.
