Surprisingly, even though it felt slabby in places, I jumped on several test slopes and couldn't get anything to crack or move.  It seems like most of the new snow fell yesterday and the new snow is so dense that it seized up quite quickly.  We skied several rollovers of 35 degrees with nothing moving or cracking.  But I was certainly suspicious of steep, wind-loaded slopes and surprised by so little cracking or avalanching.  </div>\n  </div></fieldset>\n<!-- See https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/modules%21field%21theme%21field.tpl.php/7.x -->\n      <div class=\"field-label text_02 bold mb0\">Today's Observed Danger Rating</div>\n        <div class=\"text_02 mb2\">Moderate</div>\n  <!-- See https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/modules%21field%21theme%21field.tpl.php/7.x -->\n      <div class=\"field-label text_02 bold mb0\">Tomorrows Estimated Danger Rating</div>\n        <div class=\"text_02 mb2\">Moderate</div>\n  <!-- See https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/modules%21field%21theme%21field.tpl.php/7.x -->\n      <div class=\"field-label text_02 bold mb0\">Coordinates</div>\n        <div class=\"text_02 mb2\"><div style=\"width:auto;height:400px;\" id=\"openlayers-container-openlayers-map\" class=\"contextual-links-region openlayers-container openlayers-container-map-geofield-formatter-map\">\n    <div style=\"width:auto;height:400px;\" id=\"openlayers-map\" class=\"openlayers-map openlayers-map-geofield-formatter-map\"></div>\n</div>\n</div>\n  \n        <!-- Ad underneath the left navigation desktop, this mobile web markup duplicates this where it should go -->\n                ",
