Would expect wind slabs in the normal places tomorrow, primarily east facing slopes. Given that the storm mostly fizzled, and the snow on the surface prior to any new snow was denser, would expect any wind slabs to be relatively thin, but perhaps a bit hard. Also, given the wind buffed surface prior to this storm would expect that any wind slabs would not be overly sensitive. I would say they would be in the "manageable" category, except that any wind slabs running in terrain that has not avalanched could cause something to step down into a larger avalanche, so probably not worth messing with.

Took a quick look at deeper, faceted weak layers on a NE slope at approximately 9,000'. Snowpack was still a bit shallower than in more upper elevation and upper canyon areas, 155 cm. Approximately 70 cm of February snow above the early season facet layers. Failure in stability tests on facets from late Dec/early Jan only, with no propagation in ECT (see pit profile). Shears were not clean, indicating some healing of these layers beginning to occur. However, poorer structure here than in upper BCC where I have been lately, and not ready to test anything big yet. Also, although snowpack was thinner here, with less than a meter of slab above the week layers, traditional stability tests becoming less effective (didn't do a PST, would be interesting to see). Would want to see consistent "good" results across a broad range of aspects and elevations first.
