Comments
Recent storm snow combined with rising temperatures resulted in Class 1 sloughing on almost all aspects. Did not see any large scale propogation from natural sloughs. Multiple sled cuts on test slopes did not produce results. That being said, significant surface hoar was observed in the area on Sunday and is likely still a weak layer to be aware of.
