- Breakable rain crust extends up to ~4500' (softened with warm afternoon temps!)
- Observed 5~10 small natural storm slab avalanches that appeared to have been released during Thursday's storm (approximately 15cm deep on steep convex rolls on NE thru NW aspects D1 size) at a variety of elevations between 4500' and 6500' while touring
- Quick pit @ 6200' NNE aspect 38* slope HS 250cm - ECTN12@225cm and CTE5@225 on new snow/old snow interface (F preserved stellars with 4F- storm snow above)
- We triggered one small wind slab avalanche @ 5900' N aspect (~20cm crown 15m wide and ran 15m vertical D1)
- Observed widespread subtly softer layer (~2cm thick) of preserved precip particles just above old supportable crust and below slightly more cohesive storm snow
- Variable wind affected surface snow in open terrain kept the skiing funky
- Broken skies all day with light W winds above 6000' (and probable wind transport but hard sayin' with in and out clouds.
