Yodelin
Quick report
Got out to see how warm precip event effected the snow. Rain runnels were apparent on the snow at lower elevations and a punchy crust had formed below the few cms of dry snow on the surface. This crust seemed to disappear around 4600 feet on northerly aspects (Did not travel on the southern half of the compass at low elevations) snow was dense and heavy up to 5200 feet.) Did some digging on southerly aspects as well. SW 5000 ft Pit on an exposed sunny feature on the leeward side of a ridge Dug down to the early February crust. Approximately 95 cm deep. ECTN 15 @ 40cm Could not get anything to fail at the EFC. Eventually did an aggressive shovel shear to move the block. It felt very well bonded. SE 5200 ft Pit in a small clearing above a small slide path flanked by old growth. Very sheltered. Dug down to the early February crust. Approximately 105 cm deep. CT 17 Q2 SP 40 cm down CT27 Q3 SC 105 cm down below the EFC. ECTN12 40 CMS down. Took considerable Force to pry remaining slab off of EFC. What was noteworthy was the state of the EFC. On the SW aspect it was rock solid. On the SE sheltered aspect it was brittle by comparison. Snow beneath the crust was faceted and somewhat damp in this pit.
Avalanche
SW aspect in the Yodelin burn scar. Approximately 4800 ft. You could see a partially filled in crown maybe 25cm. ( See picture)
