No need to reiterate the poor structure on shady slopes, just wanted to provide an observation from south facing. Dug with my class on south facing green slope in Snake Creek canyon to allow comparison with shady slopes. Lots of crust/facet sandwiches on the bottom, but most notable was a thin layer of small facets at the old snow/new snow interface. Looks like they probably formed around Dec 11th, and were sitting on a finger hard slab from the strong winds we had from about Dec 7th to Dec 9th. Very easy stability test results on this layer with good energy, ECTP 9 Q2. Not sure if some of the recent slides on south facing slopes (e.g., superior.) failed on this layer or elsewhere. The take home is that upper elevation south facing slopes may not have the bottomless facets that shady aspects do, but at least some of them have persistent weak layers.
