Comments

Cold sunny day -10c. Noticed large hoarfrost facets building on top of about 5mm of crust from previous warm days, harder crust about 8 inches deeper in the snowpack. Notices snowballs formed on steeper slopes from previous warm weather, did not notice any fresh slab slides or avalanches. Snow seemed very stable at this time
