Lots of wet snow falling up above Hanging lake. We saw several small naturals with 25-30cm crown on steeper/unsuppored features with run outs from 2-10 meters. The second picture shows a slide that reached the skin track as you come out of the boulder field. It looks like the new snow is failing on sugar snow with a crust another 10cm or so below. I have to wonder if we'll see it step down to the crust with more loading?
