Great day out in the sun. -30 in the parking lot then warmed up to near zero during the day. We have been waiting for a blue bird day like this all season long! We skied nice power in the trees and the snow just gets more wind affected as you move higher up. See snowpack tab for pit test results.

We dug a pit at tree line and performed a CT. There was 20 cm of fist over finger density snow and that resulted a crack at 5 medium. We had a uneven break down 50 at 6 hard. We continued with an ECT and had no results. The snow density was fist at the surface continuing down to finger at 20, pencil at 50, finger at 100, and sitting on 4 finger depth hoar at 170.
