Found a good test slope on Wright Mountain, was able to get it to break easily. 4-5" of heavy, wet new snow broke and propagated 40' or so sliding on the crust that developed in the past few days. Hand pits on N facing slopes showed this new slope bonding to the older snow well - no crust was present.Signs of Unstable Snow
