Splitter, no wind

Snowpack

On north btl CT and ECTs breaking with moderate force and propagation 60-70 cm from surface below the dust sunday. Numerous localized collapsing underfoot on West aspects BTL and E aspects BTL, and a couple localized on North. At first I thought the trees were trembling in my presence but realized it was the collapsing that was shaking the snow off. Ski pen typically 30cm. SE aspect snow when hit with sun turned to the sticky of the ickiest on Sunday.
