Quick Observation

Did a hasty assessment near a north facing slide path today at around 1000m. There was 20cm of new snow overlying a 10cm graupel layer - and this all sat on 4-5mm buried SH which failed 2x CTM11 sudden collapse. Noted numerous other natural failures on this storm/surface hoar interface nearby. Additionally there were 2 other size one loose wet avalanches that came down to the road and initiated and terminated within the track of a larger path. Large temperature gradient in the upper pack and very faceted and thin mid to low pack.
