General Observations
24″ of great new snow above 1000ft. Sitting on a thick bed of facets. On wind protected spots there was no slab, but the new snow did want to move around. Observed cracking/sliding on our skintrack switchbacks. Also one whumph at about 2600ft, NE aspect at the top of a rollover. Did not cause a slide on the steep slope below us. There’s a lot of new snow sitting over the old facets. Use extra caution!
