Snowpack
Travelled on w, s, se aspects above treeline, nw to n near treeline. Observed multiple snowmobile stability testers nw to n near treeline with minimal incident. One snowmobile triggered d1 and a few isolated cracks from snowmobile. On SE atl avalanche d1.5? originated from rocks. Unsure 26th or 25th Surprisingly good freeze out cement creek this morning. Firm skinning on SE prior to 10am. S aspects were good skiing at noon from 13k. SW not over cooked at 3pm. North wind continued. North alpine looks generally “sporty” skiing. pit near treeline north 20m from a rock outcrop showed the lingering PWL issue, even with lots of stability testers. ECTM 90cm down below lower dust on typical pwl layer. This layer was a pencil on top of 4 finger.
