The photos below were taken 2.20.20 and many of the slabs likely released overnight on Wednesday, Feb 19th. Some that look older likely released in the first wave of storms on Tuesday, Feb 18th.
It is difficult to tell, but the failure layers appear to be both at the new/old snow interface as well as the larger slabs that seem to have broke in weak layers deeper in the pack.
