<p>Just one day layer and the snow was more reactive with stability tests. West aspect--8830' HS 145cm ECTP13Q2@125cm on mix SH and facets and ECTP19Q2@85cm on 3mm facets. East aspect--9220' HS 140cm ECTP18Q2@80cm on facets x 2. This east aspect is heavily skied.</p>

Instability Comment
<p>It seems our facets are still hanging around. Danger could increase with more warming but the next cold front will cool things down but could add a little more weight.</p>

9000' rime crust over damp snow. Yesterdays high RH created a nice slab over weak snow.  At 9400' on north aspects the rime crust was there but much thinner and still provided nice riding conditons.
