Signs of Unstable Snow

Observations

Surface was heavily wind effected on most upper elevation easterly aspects. Snow could be a bit grabby at upper elevations. Breakable melt freeze crusts have formed on many easterly aspects below 4400 feet. Settlement was felt often under the skis on eastern aspects. I believe this is happening at the new/ old snow interface ~35cm down. Info from our pit below.
