Wind Drifted Snow

Main concern was small layer of facets above and below MF crust below latest storm snow on all aspects except N and NE. Hard to see with the naked eye but confirmed with magnification. Felt this may well be the cause of recent avalanches on south facing aspects in LCC and not new snow/old snow interface. This layer fails CTM but showing low propagation propensity with ECT. For our area we did not find any evidence of wind slabs so not a concern for us. Wet activity was minimal today (noted a few size 1 wet loose in the afternoon south of Ivory Flakes in Cardiff). Overall strength is moderate to strong, structure is fair with areas of poor (see red flags), and propagation propensity is moderate (tests say low but collapses trump test scores.) Layer of most concern is .5mm facets above MFcr. Bottom line, although we have a few weak layers to watch in areas travelled, the present slab or lack of slab is not overloading any weak layers. Overall stability rated as good.
