Signs of Unstable Snow

Observations

I got to the snowpark and it was barely snowing / raining. There was 6" of glop and slush in the parking lot. Once up top there was 12" of new pretty heavy snow with 18" in areas that were wind affected. I didn't ride any terrain over 35 degrees but did side hill some creeks and rolls. Nothing in the snowpack was prone to sliding though. On the way out, it started raining 2 miles from the parking lot. Looking up at the higher, steeper slopes I did not see any evidence of avalanches.

On a side note, there was a motor cycle that tried to make it over Snoqualmie Pass this morning! Crazy!
