Signs of Unstable Snow

Observations

The new snow over the Solstice rain crust, seems to be forming soft slabs due to light to moderate winds during and after each snow. I had a failure of this soft slab at a faceted interface above the rain crust. Something to watch for with additional snow and increased winds. I had a few collapses into weaker snow below the rain crust around rock features. Skiing was good, but snow was dense.
