Snowpack

71 cm snowpit with weak and faceted snow beneath the weekends 10-12". Cracking and collapsing observed on east aspect near treeline and below treeline. Lack of a cohesive slab in this area reduced the potential for a propagating avalanche. Areas with a Wind Slab and I would be very weary.

Avalanche

No observed avalanches from this vantage point. Possibly some old slides that may have released during the recent storm but could not confirm.
