Obvious signs of instability
Observer Comments
Had A windslab settle on a ridge. No shooting cracks probably due to low slope angle. Didn't dig to investigate. Had some small shallow wind slabs pop out in a few spots.
Weather
Sunny for most of the day with some clouds mid afternoon. Wind in isolated areas.
Snow surface
Variable, aspect and elevation dependent; settled pow, wind effect, sun crust (supportable and breakable). A breakable sun crust has formed on some south aspects where the sun has risen above ridgelines.
Snowpack
Pit @ 3,200 SW aspect, 28 degree slope: HS 160cm, pit depth 100cm. CTV 65cm below surface on a 1F/4F density change and on brown discolored snow. Not sure if this was due to strong winds transporting dirt? BSH not found, basal facets felt, ECTX.
