The new snow sluffed easily on the old, hard, icy crust on any steep slope. In some places near the upper ridglines, it would crack out in small, soft slabs. These avalanches were quite manageable but something you had to pay attention to steepness and consequences.

The winds stayed quite reasonable so they did not build too many wind slabs along the ridges where we were but I suspect there were some more exposed places or higher elevations where wind slabs were being formed. If the wind comes up tonight or tomorrow, as forecast, we will have to worry about lots of wind slabs because there is so much snow available for transport.
