Photo 1. Area where I had the largest collapse all the way up to the rocks in the photo. Most collapses happened in similar terrain.

Photo 2. Thought to be culprit layer of collapse. Pretty sure this is the surface hoar from the cold nights before this rain/snow event if not maybe just some near surface facet growth but still very reactive.

Photo 3. Quick hand pit in one of the areas where had a collapse. Upper layer I believe to be the surface hoar, Lower layer was just good old basel facets.

Photo 4. In the right areas there is a lot of snow in the Ogden mountains. I was looking for the layers in a little deeper spot but seemed to of found too much snow. I did want to look in these areas because they are really the only areas you can ski (where snow is deep enough)

Photo 5. ECT X in the deeper pit but with a very gentle pull with the hand it popped out very nicely and in Q1 fashion on the Surface hoar layer.

Photo 6. As always in the mountains the light did not cooperate on a photo of the facets that failed.PhotS

Photo 2. More represetitive snowpack in the Ogden mountains at about 8700 feet. Fist from 0-28cm and four fingers of new wet snow from 28-37cm. The 0-28cm facets were a mix of 2-4mm big. These facets were wet though from the warm temps. You could make a snowball out of them. The new now was not cohesive enough to get any results in snowpit tests.
