This is a bit confusing as the scenario is trying to mix loose dry avalanches with pwl. 30cm of new snow and natural activity indicates a high likelyhood of triggering if you pick the wrong (steep) terrain. The larger concern would be a step down fracture into the pwl, but that issue is irrelevant since the question is limited to loose, dry avalanches
This sounds more like an issue with rapid destabilization of the surface with new snow and warming as well as solar effect and less to do with windslabs.
Unlikely to have recent signs of persistent slabs and no shear test results.
Shear tests are class II and the presence of naturals overrides.
sounds like the scenario is also set up for loose wet avalanches
I guess if the temps are below freezing point and its raining, it must be freezing rain
How can there have been 30-60cm of recent HST when a "lemon layer" is only 10cm deep?
I rarely dig, but if I had dug and found these results they would feature as strong contributors. But in reality, I had all the info I needed to rate as VS
I would certainly have tried to get an opinion of shear possibility and quality in this case, if only by jumping on rolls, hand tests, ski cutting etc.
30 - 60 cm HN and wind transport producing a layer 10-30 cm thick? I am going with the 30-60 cm + wind
How can it be raining
Unlikely to see RP or B fracture character in this scenario.
Rapid deterioration with rain.
I cant help but ignore the windslab part of the assesment which seems somewhat moot ( not serrious ) in deference to the potential oveloading of a deeper layer(more serios)
These were easier to answer without the terrain info.
The fact that rain is falling on 20 to 30 HN24 are the strongest factors together.
The events of the last 24 hours are significant alone, although they contribute strongly to the deep persistant slab issue.
Biggest concern here seems to be the SSL down 60 to 90
Its unrealistic that a deep persistent slab would be 60 - 90cms below the surface when more than 60 fell in last 24. It can't be 'deep' persistent.
Suspicious of the conditions given the HN24
Why is it wet and slushy with no rain and below freezing temps.
the layer down 90-120 is less relevant to the current wind slab assessment but is relevant for a deeper propogation, but you are not asking about that.
Assuming rain at lower elevations
So long as Corn Snow means that the crust is holding this is no problem.
I'm abit confused by signs of persistant slabs (24hr+) and no relivant signs of instability
How can this condition exist? The cool temps would crust up the surface snow.
Could upgrade most criteria to "by itself" to highlight severity.
Not likely to get corn snow in below freezing conditions with lack of solar radiation.
Why is the interface considered weak with hard test results and resistant fractures?
Loose dry snow has not yet settled into a slab
Not sure how there can be "signs of windslabs from today"  but "no or only isolated signs of recent wind transport??
X-country skiing anyone?
the weakness is deep, but it could wake up with temp rise
Contradiction, Dense wind slabs and isolated signs of wind transport?
contradiction below freezing temps and rain
Why the 'thin wind crust' if 'no or only isolated signs of wind'?
I notice that I am always rating sun effects lightly. I am not sure this is always accurate. Sun is only significant if on or exposed t0 sun facing slopes. The I am thinking that if it is a factor it is not because I will be avoiding those slopes. If that makes sense!
Sharpen your edeges
How is the temperature below freezing, but it is raining?
I find it difficult to see that daytime temperatures are "below the freezing point", yet "rain has started within the last 3hrs"?????
Again i wonder if the moderate results come from isolating the crust.
Snowhat serious? you must be getting as tired of writing this survey as I am of answering it?
Here Temperature relating to the break down of the crust is most important.
rapid rising temps is the big one for
Bit of an odd one if it started raining over the last three hours how is the layer dry and loose
Once again, the situation seems wierd, because it sounds like more of a slab avalanche issue.  I almost pressed the "unrealistic" button on the last screen.
Obviously this assessment of not serious is entirely dependent on time of day and the strength of the crust. Unfortunately time of day is not one of the criteria
By dry loose snow I am assuming no slab properties...
despite a surface crust "dry loose snow" would indicate no slab...
Sounds like really bad skiing I'm going for coffee
assuming windslab is not on weak interface, but dry loose snow below windslab is on weak interface
