Quick report

Our skin track brought us around and over very large areas of avalanche debris that have affected the majority of the drainage. I am unsure on the exact timing of when these avalanches took place, but they appear to be relatively older. We experienced little wind but noticed significant snow transport on higher ridge lines, especially Nyack. None observed

Snowpack

We dug our pit around 6,000ft on a NE aspect. Snow depth was over a 270cm probe. We quickly noted two faceted layers (one roughly around 45cm below surface and one around 120cm). Snow density throughout the pit seemed mostly right side up - slowly getting denser as we went down. ECT yielded no results on either faceted layer. Removing the top half of the column and repeating the test to see if we could get the lower faceted layer to budge revealed nothing.
