- <p>Nothing alarming where I was traveling.</p>
Traveled from 7400ft-10,200ft., north half of the compass, slopes angles to 34°. Mostly stable snow where we traveled. Pit tests highlighted some weak interfaces but no alarming results from CT's and ECT's. Forecasted high pressure with clear skies and warm temps will be something to keep a close eye on in the next few days. Moderate to considerable danger tomorrow depending on the intensity of the sun and and the aspect you are traveling on.

- <p>Increasing danger due to heat and sun effect.</p>
About 10"-16" of new snow. It seemed that snow totals were a bit higher at lower elevations. There was at least as much snow at 8K as there was at 10K. Slightly wind effected snow in upper elevation, wind exposed terrain.
