Notes
Up to a foot of soft snow which seemed to have included a few inches from last weekend. Winds were transporting snow across Buck Ridge all day long.
We triggered two small and shallow wind slabs that didn't go anywhere, but they were a warning of bigger wind slabs on bigger slopes. We didn't find any faceted or weak layers of concern in the snowpack.
Wind slabs will grow in size overnight and will be the main concern tomorrow. Fortunately they will be easy to see an avoid.
