Weather

Cloudy, flat light with moments of sun and snow

Snowpack

Ok so we didn't stop to dig a pit as we were always racing with the little sun available to avoid flat light and enjoy the runs. Beautiful powder day, 4-6" on top of a soft crust. Small slabs were evident when skinning up and recent snow was not well bonded to the crust. No propagation or collapse.

Avalanche

Managed to move some slough in steeper spots. Evidence of previous sun activity.
