Weather

Mostly sunny with sun warming snow surfaces on southerly facing slopes. Calm winds.

Snowpack

Quick test pit BTL on an ENE aspect showed more of the same with the basal facets 1.5/2mm in this area and rounding. CT result was moderate and sudden on the NSF interface 25cm down under a F to 4F- slab. No time for an ECT but ski tracks on suspect slopes showed this interface to be a non-issue currently. No signs to instability on suspect terrain other then some sluffing in steep terrain as the snow surface continues to weaken with the recent cold weather.
