We headed into the KoKo claims area in elkford today. There was lots of low density snow and trail breaking kept us warm despite the temperature being -12. We had no results in our snowpack test and experienced no whumpfing or cracking. Even at a treeline ridge there was no wind affected snow. There is lots of snow available for transport to form fresh wind slabs in the future, but for today it was just sweet pow.

No propagation on extended column test and an uneven break in the hard range on a column test down 85 cm just above the Dec 4 crust in some small facets
