Went back to South Monitor to ski the part that avalanched in the previous warm, wet storm. The thinking was, go to the place without an underlying slab on facets. Not knowing how the new snow was bonding to the old surface, and curious about the sluff potential, I looked into West Monitor first and dropped a couple small cornices, sluffing was minimal to nonexistent. I could see a lot of new snow instabilities and sluffing which occurred during the high PI Rates yesterday , but these instabilities had settled out and were basically not a factor. Seeing the new light density snow was not a slab, I decided to ski South Monitor's old bed surface.16-18 inches of low density powder on a firm bed surface skied nicely. West facing Will's Hill had lesser amounts of snow, but same deal. Continued on to the West Willow Ridge line, same program. Light density snow on a firm bed surface. To note, West Willow had more new snow than South Monitor, about 20" new. Still not much sluffing on 37 degree North Facing slope. Not trusting steep North facing slopes that have not avalanched already, but thinking south facing and bed surfaces were good to go today. Photos, Instabilities in the new snow during high PI rates, non existent sluffing in W monitor, some deep trail breaking but not bad, watch the cornice lines this one dumped me on the slope when I wasn't paying attention, Wasatch blower
Hazard all depends on the wind factor plenty of light density to blow around, still not sold on the thinner weak snow pack in out lying areas.
