I've been prowling around on skis the last couple of days picking up some subtleties with the new snow. It's talking to us a little bit. I've experienced minor localized collapsing around my skis. I've been able to get a slope to crack remotely from about 20 feet away. I've been able to get the new snow fail as a slab in shear tests. The common denominator with all this is that weak sugary faceted snow is underneath the new snow wherever I experienced one of those actions. I don't think we have an immediate threat but there could be a few pockets where a person could actually get a small shallow avalanche to pop out. Very steep upper elevation west, north and east facing slopes is where you'd likely trigger something. My bigger concern is how things will react if we get some significant snow next week.
