Weather
Light snow showers, chilly, just a bit of wind, but not enough to move snow in the valley.
Snowpack
Several large, slope-scale collapses with spiderweb cracks where settled slabs sat previously undisturbed on old weak snow. Where I found snow deeper than around 2.5' deep, predictably the slope would collapse and crack. Where the snowpack was shallower on slopes that lacked the old snow, the Dec 9-10 storm snow is beginning to facet and loose strength (in this particularly cold valley).
