The major observation of the day was evidence of previous crossloading on South facing aspects at treeline from Easterly winds. The avalanche from the photo is old, see March 4th min. We dug pits just below and across from the slide and found no reactive layers in the upper 150cm. Crust/FC combo down 120-150cm. Of note, a thin sun crust is forming on solar aspects. Lots of preserved powder, get after it!
