On a north-east slope we dug a quick pit before skiing down. We probed 80cm until we hit crust. No reactivity on the column at any compression. All powder snow until we hit the crust. We saw some small crowns on the north slope while skiing down, but no debris so not sure how old they are. Small amounts of sluffing on the steepest areas, but no other signs of avalanche activity. Snow quality was unreal, super fluffy the entire way with no ice or noticeable windslab in the area. Just a great blue bird powder day. Get it while it's good!
