Went for a walk around Haystack and Watson today. Nice, clear, and calm morning that changed to overcast and moderate gusty winds by midday. Felt some collapsing while walking through the trees and meadows but didnt have any action once out on open faces. As expected, most wind exposed faces are still showing quite a few rocks but was pleasantly surprised by the amount of coverage given what the mesowest station at baldy has been reading for snow height. Once near the top of Haystack i looked at the surrounding peaks but couldnt appreciate any slides. There was anywhere from 4-8 inches of fresh snow from the recent storm. Dug a pit on the north side of Haystack. NNW (335deg), 10,600ft. 23deg slope. HS 120. ECT-N14, failed on the November snow which was about 60cm up from the ground. The top 60cm of snow was a cohesive slab and with a little force was able to pull the whole block off. Facets were 2-3mm and quite sugary. The north trees off Haystack skied very well. Walked over to the east face of Watson. Dug a put on the east side. EES (110deg), 10,650ft. 20deg slope. HS 115. ECT-X. The facet layer is about 40cm up from the ground. Everything on top was cohesive like the pit from Haystack but the facets felt denser(?) and more supportive although they appeared similar in size and form. Took a bit of force to pull the whole top slab off. So the problem is definitely there and present but reactivity is dependent on location, aspect, and slope. Keep it safe with low angle and enjoy the great snow.
