Looks like winter on Carson Pass

Found over a foot of fresh and very soft new snow at Carson Pass today. On steep test slopes it was easy to trigger loose dry slides in the uncohesive new snow. My tour was near and below treeline and in this terrain I did not encounter evidence of wind slab. Winds were calm in this area during my tour. 

Photo 1: Loose dry slides ran fast and far, but didn't propagate wide at all. 

Photo 2: As of noon today the previous skin/boot track was almost entirely covered by new snow.

Photo 3: Impressive loose dry slides in response to ski kicks.

Photo 4: Very high snow rates midday.

Photo 5: Skinning around I uncovered several previously rocky areas were just covered by soft new snow.
