Great turning conditions -settled storm snow with 8-12" of super light density snow on top. Sizable surface hoar already developing.
I dug around at mid and higher elevations W and N and found no evidence of buried SH. I did find it though at lower elevations, specifically on W/N facing slopes.
Saw a few Size 1 wet loose slides on S facing slopes at mid and lower elevations. The sun angle is increasing enough that even with cold air temps, direct sun is enough to destabilize.
Photo 1 - Loose dry in morning (pic) then loose wet avalanche activity on S facing mid/low elevation slopes.
Photo 2 - Thursday's avalanche (at mine dump in Providence Canyon) weak layer - buried SH.
