Signs of Unstable Snow

Did you see shooting cracks? 
No
Did you experience collapsing or whumpfing? 
Yes, Isolated

Observations

PWL is deep enough that obvious signs of instability did not present themselves beyond two isolated collapses up to ten meters in radius.

NTL HST to 100cm on east. Large cornices formed, but dropping produced no results.

HS-N-R5-D3 took out the entire NW bowl on Jim Hill.
