More detailed information about the snowpack: 

 Snowpack reflected past weather events including the wet storms with an icy crust at top and firm lenses below with some soft  layers, shovel shear slid at soft layer at depth (Q3).  Snow level starts at where trail crosses creek, grim Alders on east side so heads up on the way back down... 

No releases, if cold new snow follows it may not bond well with surface.
