I did not see any new signs of instability today. The new snow is very light and loose. Has not formed a slab, and no collapsing on the weak sugary facets on the ground. The wind was moving a lot of snow around over ridges and crossloading, and with the snow in the forecast the danger could rise.

Looking a lot better than 3 weeks ago from the same spot

Snowpack

12" new snow from the last 2 days. Was not up yesterday, but the day before. On Feb 20 there was 4" light density on a dirt layer. Another 12" from the last 2 days.
