Observations
Saw several shallow wind slabs break naturally on east aspects. Snow texture indicated the direction of the loading event and the slides were the proof.
Snow was sticky. The obvious avalanches that come with that were in abundance, but I thought the wind slabs were the interesting part of the day.
