Weather

East facing, around 35-40°, 11,200 feet. Possibly occurred yesterday or last night

Snowpack

Hard slab above tree line, cornices broke easily. Snow below slab is weaker than slab itself. Intermittently experienced cracking of the slab as I skied on it, but cracks did not propagate further than a foot or two from my skis unlike last week.
