Quick report

specific

On Sunday, we toured up to East Peak and Cement Basin with everybody else and were pleased to find a stable, unreactive snowpack, with almost no signs of the wind slabs observed the day before. We skied E through NE slopes up to about 35 degrees with almost no signs of concern. The top 10-20cm of the snowpack was cold and uncohesive. We did observe one very small settlement, and wind-affected snow on the opposite SSE slopes. But these features were small and also unreactive.
