Wow! what a difference a foot of new snow makes! The new snow was well behaved on all but the steepest slopes where it would sluff. The sluffing was of two kinds, most was occurring within the upper portion of the new snow and not entraining much snow or running very far, but I did get one soft slab to release on a steep rocky slope at the top of Cardiac Ridge which ran on the old melt freeze crust and did entrain all the new snow leaving only the slick bed surface. I would think S, SE, and maybe SW will have a crust in the morning, fairly benign avalanche conditions, no cohesive slab no real avalanches. Photos, soft slab that ran on the old slick melt-freeze crust and the small crown, sluffing in the new snow, breaks of clearing during the day, the man with a plan Brad Makoff doing his thing,
Thinking low tomorrow unless the wind slabs things up or the heat gets turned on.
