Skinned towards disease ridge and dug a pit on a SW facing slope at TL. HS @ 195cm. Cracks underfoot on the skin track. Pit results: CTE5-7 (RP) down 30cm (result over three columns) CTM11-15 (B) down 47cm (result over three columns) CTM 19 (RP) down 60cm (result over three columns) Lots going on in the upper pack. Keep an eye out, things are slappy esspically lee slopes. There is potential for upper snowpack step-downs.
