[Sorry - no photos or video. Super flat light with very poor visibility]

Spent the morning in East Bowl of Silver Fork. Arriving at East Bowl pass at 800 am we were finding more snow and wind than expected. Ski cuts on any steep slope - especially on those that were wind loaded - easily produced class 1 slides running within storm snow. Finding two different density-changes in layers within storm snow today - both in top 30 cms (12")

These slides were running 50' - 150'.

On larger slopes we were able to trigger at least one class 2 slide that ran at least 250'. Another party triggered a class 2 that likely ran over 300' with a sizable debris pile.

The hazard spiked to Considerable by late morning with high precipitation rates as well as wind loading. Lots of cracking within the storm snow, as well as debris from what appeared to be a recent natural avalanche running within storm snow.

For Monday, any storm slab instabilities should have settled out. Wind may be enough of a concern at the upper elevations for Monday.

(This was a text I shared with Trent later this afternoon: "I was really surprised how quickly the old faceted layer became more dense and not as loose and cohesion less. I thought for sure new snow would bond poorly, but overall it has bonded pretty well. I also thought Thursday’s wind drifts would have remained sensitive at least through Friday, given that they were sitting on top of such weak, faceted snow. But it seemed they stabilized somewhat by Friday, and by Saturday they were not reactive at all. Today seemed to have weaknesses within the storm snow only. Will be interested in what others are finding.")
