Snowpack tests on the Friday and Saturday showed no signs of instability. ~15 cm of new snow overnight on Sunday and continuing to snow while leaving. Did a lap of cabin hill Sunday morning and witnessed shooting cracks while skinning up, triggered two size 1 storm slabs on the way down, the new snow sliding on the hard crust below
