Snowpack

25cm of Settled storm snow at 10,700ft. The north-facing paths off the top of AMR were skiing thick from previous wind effects and/or the warm temps. I didn't notice any signs of instability up there while skiing 1 lap. On a steep, northeasterly facing roller at 10,900ft, I produced shooting cracks breaking on a layer of surface hoar below the new snow. I tried ski-cutting another roller next door and didn't get the same results. .
