Quick report
- Collapsing
- isolated
Snowpack quieted down notably compared to my last visit to this area two days ago. Kicked at a couple of small, steep features without signs of instability. While skinning through a shallow area, I got a couple of minor collapses that radiated ~5'. Moderate propagating test results on the 2/2 surface hoar below a 40 cm 4F slab (ECTP15).
A couple of localized collapses on a wind-eroded north aspect where the February slab is thinner.Weather

A handful of small avalanches involving just the new snow on Gothic. They look like very soft/shallow wind drifted slabs just below ridgeline.
