Snow Conditions
powder

Dug two pits, one at treeline, one just under the couloir, both were solid, higher elevation showed better bonding. Slight crust just under the new snow seemed to show signs of being a slab in isolated places, but was completely. nonreactive. Lots of sloughing on the ski down, resulting in a size 1 dry loose. We didnt ski the petals as we were low on time and werent certain of conditions. Snowpack felt very solid overall, and a very fun day was had.
