New snow is bonding fairly well to old surface on northernly aspects but beneath last weekends storm slab a weak u consolidated 10cm deep layer was found at 10000'. Hasty hand pit failed 45cm down (beneath last weekends storm snow) upon isolation. </p> <p>Wind loading has formed new drifts and cornices.</p>
