Skied Pulpit 1 west trees, coverage was decent, snow was light and playful, covering recently tracked areas. Better than expected from recent reports. Dig a snow pit at

Snowpack

Dug a pit on 30’ slope S.E. facing, open Trees adjacent to riding slope. 4 distinguished layers found, storm slab (130-100cm) wind slab overlying facets (100-80cm) rain crust(80cm) followed my facets to ground Compression test showed failure over wind slab layer. Test showed no result over rain crust, however possibly tracked out from prior weeks skiing.
