Snowpack

We got a couple of minor collapses in wind-loaded terrain around 11,300 feet on east and northeast aspects. The collapses were localized to underfoot, and occurred on the layer of small facets under the recent storm snow. This is illustrative of the new generations of Persistent Slab concerns, which are most worrisome on anything with even a slight northerly tilt. This could become more problematic as the storm snow settles and better connects across the terrain.
