Signs of Unstable Snow

Observations

Last night's snow was bonding fairly well, with very hard shears on shovel tilt tests. There is a wetting front below last nights snow that was variably frozen. Mostly avoided severely wind loaded slopes but found hard and hollow, but thin, wind slabs below ridge lines. large cornices and wind lips formed during the recent wind events at all elevations on most aspects, excepting dense trees. Most snow felt at least somewhat wind affected. Ski quality was good, fast and carvable. Did not get great views of above tree line terrain. Snowfall was transitioning to rain around 3000ft at 2pm.
