Quick report

Lots of older avalanches, big ones. Skied above 35 degrees on treed and open slopes. Saw massive old avalanches on Mount Adams steeper terrain lookers left of peak 500' below the ridgeline. It was difficult to see with the eye how thick the crusts were on S facing slopes, but saw small roller balls. Definitely effected by solar.

Snowpack

Dug a pit Saturday on West facing aspect, the crust layer was 120 cm down at 7300'. No propagation on this weak layer in ECT. Upper snow was soft. The wind slab is topped by a appreciative 1 foot pow that bonded well. Today we continued to ski the light snow on top of wind scoured snow.
