Snowpack is looking pretty good on South facing mid elevations on terrain not getting hit too hard with the winds. Nice structure going from F to P, only hiccup was a sun crust 35cm down. Based on my tests I think you could trigger some dry loose slides but the strength of the slab doesnt seem to be very good. This could change with wind added to the equation. My column test collapsed but was not a clean shear. Great riding conditions out there!
