Played it pretty conservative with the touchy snowpack and two very close calls yesterday in the 'hood. Tough travel at times over towards Repeater... coverage still on the thin side (110cm at 2080m) and frequently wallowing in bottomless facets near alder, x-mas trees, rocks, stumps.... tails of skis would sink and then it's hard to get back up on the skin track. Several whumpfs above 1800m and a big one near our pit site, with cracks visible 30m above us. See snowpack section for test results.
Snowpack
ECTP 13 down 75cm on glassy, 3mm facets, just above a weak 1cm crust (see lower right in image). Facets and depth hoar (nice striations) below the crust to ground. Stepping out of skis was very much a sinking feeling...
