Snowpack

AVALANCHE / SNOWPACK OBS: Wow, strange pockets of natural activity seen from a couple of days ago. Not seen this kind of activity around this place too much. Doug a quick pit HS 210cm No results on both a CT and ECT tests. When I beat on the ECT it failed to the ground. Zipper crust seen on the entire slope not so much in the glades. Although the wind blew the crust seems to have prevented much if any wind loading. Boot pen 8 inches ski pen 4-5 inches. No natural activity seen.
