Snowpack

No serious signs of instability aside from numerous harmless loose sluffs in steep terrain on all aspects and at all elevations. Found very isolated fresh slabbing (NE at TL) with minor shooting cracks, but no release. E-S highway aspects remain solid with no early season weak layer(s) present. New snow from the past two weeks (6+') continues to settle rapidly.
