- <p>I did not view any avalanches today. There wasn't much body to the new snow outside of wind loaded areas. </p>
Pit Highlights - Rounding basal facets, ectp2 within new snow, a meter of snow! I picked this spot to see how the wind slab acted on the weak old snow. Turned out there was weaker new snow. Some preserved stellars giving reactions under a stout wind slab.

- <p>I had wind drifted snow failed both in the faceted old snow and within the new snow. </p>
After noon I started to notice the snow surface heating up. Particularly below ~ 8500' regardless of aspect. Plenty of exposed slopes have been wind affected
