Danger Dave’s Bag of Tricks includes a Density kit

Today we sledded at Seaton Basin. We had partly sunny skies with light southwesterly winds. We saw several new size 1-1.5 loose dry avalanches from steep alpine features. We didn’t see any other new avalanches. We saw one older size 2 wind slab from a steep, rocky, alpine northeast facing slope. The avalanche may have occurred in the last storm cycle. We dug on a north facing slope at 1600 m and found 180 cm total snow depth. There are several crusts in the middle and lower snowpack, but we got no significant test results at all. We did multiple Extended Column Tests with no results. There is 70 cm of faceted snow near the ground which we are monitoring. At the surface there is 10 cm of powder snow, or some areas that are wind affected from previous moderate northwesterly and southwesterly winds.
