Collapsing
Avalanche Problem #1
Problem
New Snow
Problem #1 Comments
New snow seemed to bond well with rain crust. The crust is mostly supportable which greatly helps out during these admittedly low tide conditions. Had one collapse on Prelude.
Avalanche Problem #2
Problem
Persistent Weak Layer
Trend
Same
Problem #2 Comments

Forecaster note: With our poor snowpack structure, collapsing indicates failure on a persistent weak layer.
