Avalanche

Toured into the Lobo Overlook area, Suicide Bowl. Pit on N facing slope had a score of ECT4, Q2 on buried surface hoar (25 cm) and a score of ECT 16, Q3 on depth hoar layer at bottom of snowpack. Collapsing in isolated areas was present, mostly on north aspects. Recommend continued travel caution. Once next storm rolls in the burned surface host will become a big problem. Aspect: N Elevation: Above treeline
