The cold spell of late had promoted some early stage
facetted crystals within the snowpack. These grains (part way in
development to full depth hoar crystals) are notoriously unstable.
Whilst the recent mild conditions will have done much to
help stabilise these square shaped grains they are often the most resistant to change
and can lurk at highest elevations where they remain as a weakening awaiting
additional load.
