<p>My group didn't experience any Collapsing today put another group in the area reported collapsing on an East aspect around 8000'. We still are seeing poor structure in snow pits on every aspect. </p>

Instability Comment
<p>Weak structure still exists in our snow pack and although the PWL is not active everywhere, it is still something to pay attention to. In areas with lower snow depths I would expect the PWL to be more active than in areas with deeper snow depths. </p> <p>There were several loose dry sluffs that we observed across the road, in the Cardiff drainage, as we walked up Lee's fork and we took note of several long running sluffs on Reynolds east face. </p>

Throughout the day on solar aspects you could feel the shift from light, low density snow to sun effected denser powder. I would expect a light crust to be on Solar aspects tomorrow AM. On North facing and protected terrain the snow was low density heaven!
