Comments
South Facing aspects have 10"-12" of light density powder beginning to set up into a slab on top of the pre-exsisting snow surface. New snow point releases were expected and at least three pockets were pulled out on our descent from Davenport hill. I would expect to see propagation on southerly aspects tomorrow with more new snow and any increase in temperatures or sun exposure. These slides were unmanageable if caught below them.
