| Recent Avalanches? | Yes |
| Collapsing (Whumphing)? | No |
| Cracking (Shooting cracks)? | Yes |
Observation: Turnagain
Location: Tincan
We took the skin track in from the center ridge parking lot. Skinned to tree line on Tincan and skied the trees. Numerous shooting cracks observed and several new avalanches since Saturday. We heard no whomping as reported on Eddies, even when breaking trail. We observed one skier get caught in a avalanche(D1) he triggered–presumably running on last weeks buried surface hoar layer.
Obvious signs of instability
Weather
Overcast and snowing lightly. Air temperature ~5*C
Snow surface
Dry low density snow
Snowpack
Generally right side up. Lower density snow towards the surface and higher density with depth. Regular ski pole probes revealed how wide spread, yet solid the melt/freeze crust, which last weeks buried surface hoar is resting on is. Faceted moist facets at the base of snow pack
