Snow very cold, slow and squeaky.
Recent storm slabs E Q1 shears on faceted old snow surface. Little slab to propagate out of the windloaded areas. Stiffening windslabs in open areas below treeline.
Limited visibility, so unable to see if there was any activity above treeline.
Henderson control work got at least 3 slides near or over the road. Crowns looked low in the starting zones.
