Weather

Started bluebird, then cloudy and snowing by 10:30am. Light to moderate winds came with storm front.

Snowpack

The slab is definitely getting stronger, it's not quite 1F but getting closer. Still falling to the ground for boot pen in most places. Found propagation in ECT test (ECTP22, up 60cm from ground), resistant planar fracture in CT test (CT15, RP) at same layer. During the many times digging my sled out on the exit, I could just grab the upper snowpack and pull out a large, intact chunk of slab sitting on planar bedsurface.
