Notes

From obs: "Saw some cracking and propagation of a 6-8" storm slab on steeper terrain near the Bridger Lift. Gentle upslope winds seem to have compacted a slab near some terrain features, and I got a small propagation at the edge of the Sluice Box gully where the slope angle tipped up near 40."
