Sunday's S winds did not transport snow or form wind slabs on Reynolds Pk. We still found dry facets in the snowpack. Overall the snowpack has widely varying strength. Reynolds E face had avalanched earlier this year and only has about 2 1/2 feet of snow. There is an obvious layer of facets about 3-6 inches above the ground.

There has been no recent (reported) avalanche activity, minimal new snow, no wind transport and all ECT results continue to be ECTN or ECTX (meaning it doesn't propagate or doesn't break at all). For these reasons the danger is low.

Buried facets seem like they will need a decent load to become active again. Probably greater than an inch of SWE in a short period. Hard to say exactly but the next storm of just a few inches of snow won't be enough to make them unstable.
