Despite the wind, had a great day looking for turns below the Forum Lake/Wall Lake Saddle, and on the North Side of Forum Ridge. Turns and touring were surprisingly good. Snow depth 0.8 meter at the border between the burn/intact trees on the north side of Forum Ridge, and 1.8 meters at 2134m below Forum/Wall Lake Saddle. Did test Extended Column Test at 2134 meter on North facing slope at 30 degrees angle with no resulting propagation: ECT-X (30).
