<p>While we were able to identify the PWL on NE slopes at 7700' it was not reactive. The warming temps throughout today did not produce wet slides on the North Ogden Divide. The ridges were riddled with wind slabs and cornices. We had several small 1-3" thick wind slabs fail with not consequence. We also had one large wind slab approximately 12" thick. See photos</p>

PWL was not reactive and appears to be healing. HS was 165cm. CTN, ECTX. We did find a 1cm melt freeze layer at 22cm down that appears to have facets both above and below. We had a CT27 (141cm) at this layer.

Snowpack

Lower elevation solars were boilerplate while upper elevation Northerly slopes were excellent. The ridge tops were riddled with large cornices and wind slabs.
