Snowpack

25-35cm HSt, more in isolated loaded pockets. New snow was gaining strength with warm temps this morning. Traveled @ TL, stomped around on lots of wind loaded test slopes (S/SE aspect) and couldn't get anything to move. Observed several small soft slabs above TL that could have propagated, but didn't.
