Chilliwack SAR training, skied Needle trees, dug test profile and did some transceiver practice/scenario. Saw several Na avalanches across Hwy on Yak peak (picture).

Snowpack

TP dug in sparse trees, lower TL. Several moderate CT results within HST, none of the results on 200101 MFcr. 41cm F snow overlies 200101 MFcr at 1550m in sheltered area. Midpack is 4F to P, well rounded with multiple MFcr. Several open W features were scoured down to 200101 MFcr.
