Quick report

Still weak layers buried in the snow pack that could be triggered in places where they haven't slid. Most likely in protected areas on shaded aspects. But not to rule out solar aspects.. the weak layers only buried a foot to a foot and a half below the surface.

Nothing new visible even across on E-NE side of the council ridgeline other than very small solar wet loose on SE steep slopes. The upper 3-4cm of the surface was moist in the sun and carvable on the northern aspects.

Snowpack

Still able to get the weak layer from Valentine's Day buried surface hoar to propagate in an extended column test. The crystals stood up buried and fairly well preserved on the north aspect however, on the south aspect, it was damp and did not propagate in the spot that I tested.
