Quick Observation

I toured through BTL up to TL and the Snow depths ranged from 50 in steep wind exposed areas 110 in protected spots. Several whumps observed when wondering off the skin track, in sheltered treeline meadows and around an exposed ridgeline. Aside from some small sloughing in steep rocky solar terrain and trees, no avalanche activity was observed. Large preserved surface hoar buried down 60 cm produced easy to moderate test results with sudden collapse fracture character. Excellent surface conditions but unable to link many turns due to uncovered rocks and trees.
