New snow instabilities on Grant Ridge

6" at 5,000 feet. 8-12" with previous light wind transport above 6,000'. Low density (~8%) The snow was equally reactive on all aspects, but fell on sun crust on southerly, rain crust below ~6,000' on northerly and dense wind affected snow (DFs/rounds) over a rain crust from 6k to 7k. Seemed like you needed just a hint of windloading to trigger a slab today. ECTX results in the soft slab. The rain crust at higher elevations is friable and has facets below it. Could be a problem with a large load. On southerlies, there is a thin sun crust/thick sun crust sandwich below the new snow with DFs between.
