Quick report

Drifted snow 20-40cm deep in places and exposed ground in other places. Some windscour is down to the icy crust layer. Dug an informal pit on an east aspect @ 7900' to look at layers close to ground. Measured 80cm depth and 20cm of new snow. Some sweet pow in places jumped on a lot of tests slopes and found nothing remarkably reactive. Weaker ground layers were not present where I dug and I would be curious to dig on a more north aspect. Still really low tide deep and shallow turns back to back.
