A few localized collapses and a couple that produced localized shooting cracks. The 11/30 interface that is SH here, seemed to be the main culprit.

Snowpack

ECTP results on both the most recent SH that is about 25cm down and the 11/30 interface that is often SH in this area. While we did get a few localized collapses hunting suspect terrain features, we were unable to get a slab to displace and produce gapped shooting cracks or to produce an avalanche. Snowpack test results highlight the potential of the avalanche problem while moving through the terrain highlights the problem trending towards more  of a dormant issue. The mid-pack slab is often 4F. In a few shallow areas, the snowpack isn't supportive to skis, while most of the time ski pen is in the 15cm range.
