Went from Brighton to Sunset on Thursday, Alta to Patsy Marley today, specifically to look at the two old bed surfaces from slides that both were remotely triggered on November 26th. As expected, both were filled in with a shallow layer of very weak faceted snow. The Patsy Marley slide was capped with a 2" wind crust. Photos below from Patsy Marley. Expect repeaters - slopes that have already slid once to be some of the first slopes to slide again once we get a good load. Pros from the Park City side made a similar comment Wednesday night - that the snow on the old slide paths was super weak, and could fail again once loaded.
Wind slabs created yesterday were hard - supportable in some places, breakable in others. Below is a piece of wind slab - in most spots I saw they were only a few inches thick. Second photo is of wind slab with preserved surface hoar sticking out on the under side. Most wind slabs seemed to be sitting on the weak, sugary near surface facets, and I saw no other surface hoar.
