Signs of Unstable Snow

Observations

Hard to gauge snow depth due to wind, maybe 10-12cm? On N at 7,900' the 3/1 rain crust is down 13-15cm, 1-2cm of small, dry facets underneath. Looks ugly. Same location, 1/20 down 40-45cm. ECTNs in the teens. Only dug in one spot, 1/20 interface was a bit rough, probably not great data on it, was mostly curious about the character of 3/1. Plenty of active, sporadic wind transport by northerly winds at all elevations. Refilling skin track. Minor cracking in fresh drifts. On the drive north I saw a handful of what appeared to be solar-initiated dry loose, but I wasn't really looking very hard.
