The December snow cracked easily and failed as a slab when disturbed by a sled.

I triggered several audible collapses today. Most also cracked with super thin, barely visible cracks around a foot deep. Old wind slabs in lower angled terrain on very weak faceted snow.

Here are a couple views of Double Top Mountain in upper Steep Hollow from the East. The starting zones are well "primed;" the anchors are buried and smoothed in by very weak faceted snow, and we are set up for large avalanches when a good storm or two lays down a cohesive slab layer.
