Good turns to be had in the TL of Asulkan Valley, with 40-45cm low-density snow on top! We observed two recent Na windslabs (24-48hrs) in the ALP sz 1.5-2 on northerly aspects of Mt Abbott and Cleaver as well as sz 2 Sa (12-24hrs) in the TL of Lookout West (see avi tab and photo). Hand shears and jumps on small convexities revealed an old WSL 40-45cm down that broke planar though with resistance. ECTX in the TL (N, 30) just below the Triangle Moraine. HS 225cm. Dug down to 125cm, finding a right-side up snowpack (F -> P), consisting of DFs and RGs.
