Snowpack

Observed a few WLNR1D1 (NE-SE above TL) out of steep rocky terrain in Lake Creek drainage from yesterday, the first warm day after the recent snow. Ski test (NE at TL) produced no results. Triggered LAScR1D1 x3 in very steep Nerly aspects well below TL. All activity ran on the hard old snow surface. Lots of wet rollers, but few actual avalanches.
