Weather

cloud cover: clear; wind loading: previous; snow avail for transport: small smounts

Snowpack

We produced collapses and shooting cracks on five separate south and southeast-facing slopes near treeline. Cracks would cross terrain features up to about 50 feet or so. The culprit was a layer of facets above the Christmast crust. Slabs averaged around 45 cm with some amount of drifting.

Avalanche

Just avalanche activity from yesterday that was already documented.
