Three inches of light snow might provide the final touch to our two weeks of snow. Total HS was 150 cm on north facing Reynolds Glade at 9,000 feet, with 90cm now sitting above the Dec 17th rime/freezing rain event! The snow seemed basically right-side-up, but included two shearing planes and at least one subtle inversion.

No ECT performed, but bottom 40 cm of 4 finger facets below decomposed fragments remains a recipe for persistent (even deep?) slab avalanches.

Of note: snow above and below rime crust seems well bonded to the crust on Reynolds. Bouncing a block of snow that included the icy layer failed to separate slab from crust.
