Quick report
I performed two snow pits in this area one today and one yesterday. The results were fairly similar as there were several smaller ice layers in the top half of the snow pack however neither were reactive. The area of concern is still around the 67 cm depth where our persistent layer, however stubborn, is still reacting just underneath that ice layer. Extended column test did not produce any reaction. However, our propagation saw test did arrest again underneath this persistent ice layer toward the end of the column. There is still a faceted section of snow right near the ground, that could present a larger step down from an avalanche caused on the persistent week layer or from cornice failure. Going forward, aspects from north through southeast should still be of concern and riders should avoid slopes 30° or greater as well as staying away from and under any steeper slopes above. No instability observed riding into area

Two tests were performed. An extended column test did not result in any reaction ECTX . The propagation saw test PST did not arrest until the very end of the column just underneath the ice layer at 67 cm. PST 115/120 @ 67cm
