Good day of riding. Rode s-sw slopes in open trees. Many signs of older Na activity in the area on all aspects. size 1-2s. Crowns seem to be the storm slabs released in the past 24-48 hours. No evidence of human triggered slides in the area that we saw but obs were limited due to vis. Day went from OVC to X to OVC.

Weather

Went back and forth between overcast and obscured.

Snowpack

Full Profile and ECT conducted on a SW slope representative of what we skiied. See profile in the photos. Facets are rounding above 55cms and overall temp profile would make you believe that the snowpack is slowly healing. However, the 55-0 facets show no signs of healing.

Avalanche

Lots of Na
