Weather
Clear skies with moderate to strong winds throughout the morning. Active wind transport.
Snowpack
5 inches of new snow with 8-12 inches of new snow depth in wind deposited zones. Storm appears to have come through with right side up snow density but wind transport was forming a slab 1-3 inches thick by midday. Started to get lengthy shooting cracks when transitioning from NTL to ATL elevation bands. Shooting cracks were propagating to small test slope sized convexities and causing slides on those features. We chose to not continue up our line to where it steepens above 30?.
Avalanche
Only broke off some small test slope sized convexities. D1
