Snowpack
Dug around 6750' (ESE) in the W Fork of Cedar Creek drainage. HS 190cm
Found the solstice crust 75-80cm down but it did not produce any results on snowpit tests. We did get 2 sudden planar results (CT SP M x 2) on recent storm snow 35cm down overlaying what appeared to be a thin sun crust. Even though we dug in a sparsely treed area the top 5cm were wind buffed snow.
Avalanche
Observed some older storm/wind slabs in steep rocky terrain near Pika/Poster Peak.
