- Instability Comment
- <p>A pit at 7600 ft, NE slope had HS of 110 and the weak layer is rounding and not reactive with ECT. Around rocks where the snow is shallow you can still find rotten snow and drop to the ground. </p> <p>Jumped on a bunch of wind slab and could get no results. </p>
Soft, recrystallized, dry, fast turnable snow on the ridge with nice low density snow in the meadows and some chattery crust in the north conifer woods. Surprised to see mostly reasonable surface conditions down to 5500 ft.
