Snowpit was unreactive to stability tests. However, that doesn't mean an avi cant happen. Wind loaded steep slopes could still prove to be problematic if triggered.

- <p>We spotted two avalanches on Gold Hill. One appeared to be a few days old and I am not sure of how it was triggered. Could have been wind loading or sledders high marking leading into the weekend. The second appeared to be much smaller, fresh from Sunday and triggered by a snowmobile on a small rock band. </p>
Snow in the lower elevations appeared to be about 6 to 8" with a solid bottom. However, as we continued our climb we found some good powdery snow in north facing shaded slopes/trees. At about 10k new snow depths are easily 18" or better in sheltered areas.
