Snowpack
Travelled on east aspects below treeline and north to southeast near treeline. Still seeing plenty of cracking and collapsing below and near treeline, though more localized than what I've been seeing over the last several days. Winds were transporting plenty of snow at ridge top and down into the upper reaches of the near treeline band. It seems like we're seeing enough recent snow piling up that I noticed a bit more of a slab below treeline than I've seen over the last several days.
