Snowpack

recent storm snow moist; widespread small wet loose avalanches of the surface layer along the corridor and above the road in West Roaring Fork. Upper snowpack below new snow is frozen wet grains. No slab avalanches observed. Looks like isolated surface wind slabs from transport during the storm.
