Quick report

No obvious signs of instability. Dug two pits. One in a ne facing drainage at 7000' - ectx and no cohesive slab when we pried on it. The second was at 6400' on a north facing ridge - ectx but the snow broke in a slab at the drought interface when pried upon. We teased the idea of skiing the north facing glades but kept it mellow because it's a weird winter.

Got super windy 3/3 but did not observe snow transport.

Snowpack

So much forest debris on the snow surface from all the wind but skiing was surprisingly creamy and good, esp on lower angle north aspect.
