Solid at Forum

Had a great afternoon out at Forum ridge today. Observed very solid snow conditions on the way up, with one or two very small, isolated pockets of spook. Dug a pit about 3/4 of the way up, and got no results from an ECT. Resorted to jumping on the column to try to force a reaction, and while it finally went (after 3 jumps) the failed layers did not propagate across the entire column. The ski down was excellent, there is about 30cm of fresh from the storm that is soft, but has substance. Closer to the lake there seemed to be less snow, and could feel the crust underneath.
