Signs of Unstable Snow

None reported

Observations

Overnight snow had bonded poorly to layer from the previous day. Cracks during the skin up were observed but deemed low risk as their depth and density was low. Wind affected snow was observed on northern aspects, therefore those slopes were avoided.
