Quick report

This was my second day in a row touring in Crystal Theater. We dug a test pit 100 ft above the same location we dug yesterday and found completely different results. Overnight the snow pack completely froze to the ground and was locked up into place. Generally stable, small amounts of sluffing and steep terrain

North facing slopes remained cold and dry throughout the whole day. In these areas we found 2-4mm surface hoar that remained preserved throughout the day.
