little tour out around Rock Isle, nice day overall with some results in my first pit of the season. Nothing incredibly surprising with the hazard so we kept to the mellow slopes around the lake. Thanks to Zak for helping through the pit process

see attached pit profile. Seeing results on buried surface hoar 18 down with good propagation on the ECT. On steeper slopes definitely would have expected it to slide
