New 3-5" bonded well on existing snow surfaces. Our party traveled throughout a myriad of aspects except south. New snow point releases caused by trees, skiers, and critters ran approximately 50' on the steepest aspects. Slopes less than 40 degrees the weak snow did not have the cohesiveness, energy, or bed surface to run more than a few feet.
ski cuts or cornice drops produced no results today.
Should the forecasted storms deliver expected depths and amounts or precip totals the storm new slabs could be a concern.
