Some whumpfing in isolated pockets but largely snow seemed stable. Dug a pit to look and found 25cms of powder on top of supportive wet base. This is an isolated pocket so I wouldn’t take it more than that.

Snowpack

Did an ECT. No failure, at least where we dug.

Avalanche

Saw 1 old slide and two new slides on the bowls below observation peak. Two were slabs for sure. One look like a point release but ran long.
