We stayed off of avalanche terrain except for micro slopes. No signs of cracking, whumphing, or naturals. We did not see any instabilities throughout our day today while skiing or riding. Minimal sluffing due to the warm up, but the northerly's are still holding cold snow.

We dug a pit this morning on a north aspect around 7500ft in elevation. Results below: CT13 @ 35cm SP CT16 @ 124cm SC ECTN25 @ 117cm, BRK PST 45/120 END The snow that has fallen in this last storm cycle is very right side up. 0 = snow surface HS 210cm 0-55cm, fist hard, DF 55-90cm, 4F progressing to 4F+, DF 90-122cm, 1F, DF 122-124cm, P, CR 124-132cm, 4F, RDFC 132-145cm, 1F, RG 145cm was the bottom of our pit. Still keeping a very close eye on the 2/10 crust with facets below. The PST results confirmed that the 2/10 crust is still very weak.
