Snowpack

No notable signs of instability on short/steep test slopes that were easterly facing between 10,500ft and 10,900ft. Did see a few blocks shift or short cracks between snowmobile tracks after slopes were cut up.  No obvious signs of instability on short/steep test slopes that were southeasterly facing slopes up to 12,000ft, other than the observed wet loose avalanche activity.
