Quick Observation
Not a speck of wind all day. parked at 15km. Seems like everyone is using radios. Great snow coverage top to bottom. snow felt quite dense from parking lot to treeline. skied like cream. The good kind, not the one you forgot in your fridge for a few weeks. Dug a pit... see other tab if you want info
Snowpack
Dug a pit at 1700 on a S slope. Dug roughly 100cm down. 4 finger snow most of the way down, moving to 1 finger snow near 85-90cm down. No obvious layers visible, and no obvious layers felt when moving down the snowpack. 1st CT had a failure 40 down at 19. SC, and resistant 2nd CT had a failure 40 down at 9. SC and resistant The snowpack felt super stable and saw no signs of the above results all day. Of note, 100cm down there is a significant crust. We pulled the whole column with our shovel and it slid of this crust. Pretty thin crust on the snowpack, but there a 5-10 cm layer of thick hard snow above that crust. Make with this information what you want. Or maybe post another MIN explaining what I saw :D
