Lots of elastic energy - very fast moving slide. Also noted several natural slides from 2-12/2-13? on E aspect, 8000-8500 ft, 3-5" deep, 100+ feet wide. Very minor cracking noted on climb up the ridge - cracks no more than 6' in length, about 6-8" in depth. Large surface hoar crystals and near surface faceting. Could become a very real problem with additional snow in the future. Surprised at how weak the whole snow pack is on and around Mt Aire. Deep layer of near ground facets, thin and fragile.
