Great spring conditions in the Larch trees of north Tent Ridge and the ski out is in great shape too. Did one quick column test mid-slope. A little movement at 10cm with some pressure on the shovel (I also noticed sending down a few chunks at this depth on the descent). No other movement in the column. After all the shovel hits, I tried prying the column out from the back and it sheared at 40cm. Note that the probe was not at ground - I figure the snowpack was around 250cm.
