Storm snow instabilities

Toured the ramp this morning. We found a lot of snow covering the skin track from yesterday. Little to no wind affect near the ridge, however we did find the occasional deep, slightly stiff drift on more northerly/easterly aspects. While skiing a se facing slope, we found cracking and some cohesion in the new snow. This was mostly on very steep and rocky terrain features. The most notable of these was about 20’ wide, the bottom part of the new slab only moved about 6” before stopping, while the upper foot of the slab ran the full face. Most steep chutes we skinned near had a debris pile at the bottom (running full path).
