Snowpack

About 20cms of recent snow which easily failed with a shovel tilt test at the new / old interface likely on nsf's. Appeared to be 35-40cms of unconsolidated snow on the old bed surface in Marble Bowl with the crown still clearly visible in most locations. Aside from the new / old interface upper and mid pack seem to be fairly homogenous with a CT in the top 1m of the snowpack resulting in no failures in an area that didn't avalanche in Feb. Moist to wet snow observed near the top of the skin track on the more SE facing aspect at noon
