Storm slab cycle in Cascade Creek

Found a quiet snowpack in the wake of a widespread storm slab cycle yesterday. 

• We found the 2+ feet of storm snow from the past few days produced a widespread storm slab cycle on Wednesday morning in Cascade Creek.  Crowns were 12-18" thick, and produced large (D2) debris piles.  There was evidence of similar activity in Skiumah and Rescue Creeks, at least D2 in size.  Storm instabilities appeared to be healing quickly...the recent snow felt right-side up today and did not produce any signs of instability.  
• We noted one larger slab avalanche, estimated 3 to 4 feet deep, that was either a persistent slab or just a heavily wind loaded storm instability in alpine terrain.  It looked like one of the storm slabs in Cascade also stepped down to the GroundHog crust around 5,200', but the difference in slab height is relatively minor at that elevation.   The GH crust did not produce any signs of instability today except a couple localized collapses at low elevations.  
• We generally felt comfortable skiing steep terrain because most everything had flushed in this drainage.  We would have been cautious of slopes still holding the full storm's snowpack on them, mostly due to uncertainty around the GroundHog crust.  This interface was down 3.5' deep at 6,400'.  
• We found small grained surface hoar on the surface from when we emerged to open slopes at 5500' to our turnaround at 6,400'.  Wind was transporting snow on high peaks.
