Quick Observation

Rode mellow slopes on Marinka Hill SE-aspect at 3,500'. Found protected snow away from the wind and solar effect. Drifted slopes had between 15-30cm wind slabs that was failing upon isolation over a 3cm hard old snow surface crust with facets underneath. More solar S-aspects had a sun crust from the day prior that warmed up then re-froze the surface. Noticed size 2 debris piles in Rainy Hallow and steep Three-guardsmen chutes that likely sloughed off over the widespread hard surfaces (melt-freeze crusts) after the recent snow. Saw scouring on southerly aspects and heard reports of softer non-wind effect deposits on the north side of three-guardsmen.
