Signs of Unstable Snow

Observations

The snowpack seemed generally very stable at the beginning of the tour, but with snow consistently falling and significant wind, slabs started to form over the course of the morning/afternoon. We found one isolated spot that seemed to be above a pit that had been dug that day that had a pronounced shooting crack. Otherwise, there was just a lot of snow which produced a decent amount of sluff while skiing, but nothing majorly unstable. The biggest concern was that visibility was very low.
