Skiing

Toured into Pebble Cr drainage. 

2 to 4" of new, low density snow. 

Saw evidence of wind loading and two older, small slides on N facing aspects of some W - E sub ridge lines. Slides both appeared to be from wind loaded snow that broke right below the ridge line on the leeward side. 100 to 150' wide, 18" deep and running for 100 to 200'.

No cracking or collapsing found on any aspect during the tour and we couldn't get anything to move.

Nice snow wherever you could find a wind protected area.
