Quick Observation
Took a walk up to around the burnt knob, no signs of any large recent avalanches, and no instabilities, whumpfing, or shooting cracks were observed today. Snow was variable and all crusted out below 1000m, and on solar aspects. See separate tab for snowpack.
Snowpack
Dug this pit on a sheltered area in an open section of trees. CTM 14 RP @30cm storm slab from last week, and CTH 24 RP @65cm which appeared to be the early Feb layer. Couldn’t really find the surface hoar and was more so showing facets. The layers were very obvious when digging in the snow. Both breaks were quite resistant to any movement and appeared to be in the process of bonding.
