Notes

From obs: "Saw this slope which frequently slides had been triggered on our way out last night. Slid to the ground but I expect it was mostly new snow was there is a larger old crown visible further uphill.... I did see two other small pocket slides yesterday also in new snow on bed surfaces of older slides.... General snowpack is getting very deep now but a thick junk layer remains at the ground everywhere I dug sleds out."
