Observations

Sounding like a broken record, lots of recent wind loading observed. No signs of instability. Several inches of new snow. Tried to get stuff to break on wind loaded slopes in non-consequential terrain. Unable to get any cracking or any other sign of instability. Definately have wind slabs. This was a last minute ride in low to middle elevation. Never made it to upper or even upper middle elevations. The southern Pioneers were socked in most of the day. No real wind at our elevations today. Cold.
