Quick report

Moderate avalanche danger. We observed the same avalanche issues that were forecasted: dry loose and persistent slab. We did a CT and ECT. Neither tests showed much instability besides the new snow which wasn't bonded yet to the layers underneath it, and that fracture didn't slide or propogate.

Snowpack

Snowpack was stable. New snow was sitting on top of a crust but it didn't slide until it was pried with a shovel. Under the crust, the layers were well bonded even though there were a few crusts from the warm weather and rain we have been getting. Those layers were sitting on top of the early season snow which was still pretty weak.
