Sluffing as described above.
20cm of settled medium density sits above 2cm of small grained facets, which in turn sit above a thin layer of graupel. Facets/graupel from 2/9 storm. No slab to speak of; tilt tests and compression tests elicited movement at the interface, though energy and quality was poor. In the photo I'm pointing at this interface from 2/9.

A full on feeding frenzy in the Tri-Canyons - with little activity to show for it
Snowpack
- Instability Comment
- <p>Loose wet and dry seemed to be the issues for today, though the sun never seemed to stick around for long to adversely impact the southerlies for wet activity. Dry loose snow needed angles of 40+ and these were low volume low speed medium density sluffs, well managed with slope cuts and terrain choices. </p>
Low>medium density snow settled to 20cm at 10,000' in upper East Kessler area. Surface hoar - some well up to 10mm in diameter -noted up to and along the ridges.
