Stable conditions up high. The pit and CTs confirmed out confidence in the snowpack. No signs of whumpfing or shooting cracks on skin up or ski down of either run. We broke through the crust at times while skiing through thin SW - SE facing aspects. Some old crowns on E facing steep thin rocky aspects observed (maybe 1- 2 weeks old).
