More snow last night and throughout the day today. We wandered up into the Alpine with hopes of good visibility to see if the new snow was causing the snowpack to react. But alas, no new avalanche observed today. The alpine remains scoured, best conditions so far this week lay deep in the shelter flats. We dug a couple pits on opposing aspects (N and S). We're investigating the Feb 14 FC and found hard planer test results on it. This aligns with our test yesterday and our confidence is increasing as a result.
