Observer Comments
Recent cornice triggered storm slab along the ridge from Manitoba towards Silvertip. Noticed a storm slab with its crown filled in on the West face of Templeton (I think that's its name) elevation was between 2500' and 3000'. Guessing maybe 200' wide. Didn't get a pic. Sorry, not a great place to pull over.
I was a little surprised how filled in the Eastern aspects looked along Fresno, Colorado, and Summit peak following the strong winds on Friday night. I suppose the warmer temps likely helped.

Didn't dig any pits. Could feel a very light crust in a few hand pits ~15-20cm below the surface at 1800' and 2500'.
