Quick report
- Cracking
- isolated
Overcast snowing, HS 130, ne aspect, elevation 5700, ski pen, 7-8 cm, light wind west 260-280, pit revealed easy failure in the new snow but no tendency to propagate., a more resistant failure on/below the January crust. Seemed like the snow crystals were very compact, skinning was slow and tedious, lots of drag. Observed some shooting cracks in wind affected areas, I will guess this new snow stiffens up pretty quickly.
