<p>We had an awesome day on Coquihalla Lakes Ridge today. Did a full pit and found snowpack to have good stability. South aspect was 180 cm with forced failures not easily achieved at 160 cm and 115 cm. Solar effects later in day changed things greatly in terms of density and moisture content. One minor whumpf at uphill side of a tree well on skin track up while three of us stopped to take a break.</p>
