Notes
From obs: "Wind slabs at the top of the ridge approximately 4-8 inches deep. Continued wind loading down the wolverine bowl, slabs softer the lower you go. Snowpack has about 1.5 feet of facets with a hard layer on top. New snow building up on top of that layer. Saw one small natural avalanche nearby, appeared a day old."
