- <p>The potential wet slab problem was not observed today. Maybe tomorrow.</p> <p>2 soft wind slabs noted , but all the hand pits we dug showed only loose, unconsolidated snow. We skied some short 40+ degree low consequence terrain (NW) and got lots of shallow, failry slow moving sluffing, but not deep enough to be an issue</p>
N Facing above 8500 ft stayed soft and cold all day. Some radiant heating in the early-mid morning, but shut off by mid day. E facing snow at 6:30 pm exit was thick but not crusted. I think Friday will be another good powder day on Ne to West aspects above about 8500 ft.
