Snowpack
Winds had only done a little bit of transport. Minor loading on both east and west aspects near treeline, but very soft slabs. Got one good collapse (~100ft radius) on an E aspect near treeline when I got out of my skis to dig a pit, it broke around 50cm deep on facets underneath a sun crust. Dug on E aspect. ECTP8 within storm snow, 35 cm down. ECTP11 under suncrust. ECTP21 midpack in facets. Saw a very small ~10ft Wind Slab that broke 6" deep, looks like it ran yesterday or last night. Storm snow is mostly right side up, came in very dense initially.
