Quick report

Soft snow all the way to ridgetop on northeast aspects made for really good ski quality. We could find the buried surface hoar and facet layer about 40 cm deep, but no signs of reactivity as there was no slab above (no cracking, hand shears, etc). One whumpf in shallow rocky terrain while gaining the ridge, likely isolated depth hoar. Couldn't see any avalanches from last week's storm.
