Weather

Light snow on and off. Minimal wind

Snowpack

10” of fresh, sun crust that varied spatially, then 4’ of pencil hard slab. CT resulted in no failure on a 30 degree, east facing slope at 11200’. Prying with a shovel showed two possible failure planes in the hard snow, rough 2’ and 3’ from the surface. Pit was dug near a ridge, so results are probably skewed by that
