Comments
Lots of new snow around the area. About 5 cm fell over the day from convective flurries, adding to the 30+ cm from the past couple days. We found storm slabs to be reactive in lee and cross-loaded features at treeline and in the alpine and loose dry otherwise. The photos show slabs from skiers today, generally size 1 to 1.5. They ran fairly far but were of low density.
