Weather
Clouds increased mid-morning. Light winds with light transport at times. Mild temps.
Snowpack
Frequent collapses, some localized, some rumbling across entire terrain features. Slabs are generally 2 feet thick and 4F hard over our well-advertised weak layers. We targeted a pit on a due south slope that held old snow prior to the recent storms. The crust capping the large-grained facets is about 6 cm thick, and tests did not propagate.
Avalanche
Numerous natural D1.5 to D2 slabs from the last storm, most on North to East N/ATL, with a couple that rounded to Southeast and South-Southeast aspects. Light was flat so it was hard to make out exact sizes and crown connectivity. See photos. Tried getting some smaller terrain features to release without any luck.
