Skied 2 laps in Big Trees this morning. Winds and warming have densified the top layer of snow. It's funky skiing and getting more unstable. Noticed cracking of upper 8-14" on skintrack but no propagation/slab releases. We stayed pretty mellow.
Skied inbounds this day. Saw someone trigger larger slab inbounds on davy jones. 2ftx50ft, pretty dramatic poof of snow right in front of ch2.

I skied inbounds as well. The untracked had a wildly different quality than what we found while touring a little down the highway on Tuesday. Much heavier and wetter. Big fast change...
