Comments
An overview shot of northerly facing slopes. Coverage and depth are getting more worrisome, with potential for the faceted snow to be a problem with a load of new snow. Basically, everything white on mid and upper elevation slopes is faceted snow - which will generally act as a weak layer when it finally gets loaded. Any remaining snow on southerly facing slopes has gone through a couple of melt-freeze cycles.
A flipped piece of wind slab, with facets and surface hoar sticking to the bottom.
Cracky thin wind slab.
