Comments
Sluffing as described above.
20cm of settled medium density sits above 2cm of small grained facets, which in turn sit above a thin layer of graupel. Facets/graupel from 2/9 storm. No slab to speak of; tilt tests and compression tests elicited movement at the interface, though energy and quality was poor. In the photo I'm pointing at this interface from 2/9.

A full on feeding frenzy in the Tri-Canyons - with little activity to show for it
