Today we rode in the telkwas. There was 10-15 cm of low density snow and moderate southerly winds through the day. We could still feel the old rain crust from Jan 25th beneath the 40-60 cm of snow we received over the previous storm. During compression tests we were able to get moderate and hard sudden planar results on the Jan 6th surface hoar/ facet layer down 75cm. We had non propagating results during extended column tests on the Jan 6th surface hoar/facet layer also. Visibility was limited but we observed no new avalanches.
