Weather

Bluebird and cool.

Snowpack

The recent storm snow shows signs of fast settlement... into an easily triggerable slab. In wind-scoured shallower spots the snowpack is unsupportive and I sank to the ground. In wind-sheltered or slightly drifted spots above around 11,000' the snowpack is consistently supportive, and noisy. In some places I could not isolate ECT tests because the block would collapse while cutting. In other spots I got easy propagating results in the top of the depth hoar.
