Wind slabs on Mt Brown

Traveled to Mt Brown to note signs from the recent northeast wind event.

• Two recent wind slab avalanches were observed near the top of 2 of the steep NW gullies. Both of these were above 6500'. 
• Terrain sheltered from the wind harbored up to 14" of low-density powder that is settling out.
• Recent winds have left a 4-8" (thick) 4F to 1F (hard) slab on SE, S, and SW aspects above and below treeline with slabs found on W and NW aspects above treeline. In many locations, the slab was bonding poorly to the underlying snow surface.
• Instabilities noted included cracking, shooting cracks, and intentionally triggered small wind slab avalanches.
