Transitioning from storm weather into a high pressure system.

Snowpack

New storm snow on old well developed facets and sun crusts. Lots of cracking and collapsing in new snow. Saw and initiated many small pockets of storm slab sliding on new/old interface. Not big enough to take someone for a ride, nor causing lower layers to fail, but where wind deposition is greater, I'm sure this could be possible.
