Since Dec 22 there has been lots of new snow which is all now sitting on the rain crust. the rain crust is down 40-90cm depending on aspect and elevation. We observed many wind slabs and evidence of wind transport, and with the winds changing Saturday night (SE) to Sunday morning (SW) there are a couple of wind slabs sitting on top of the Dec 22 rain crust. We were able to produce results on multiple layers within the snowpack.
