- ECTP24 down 60 cm on NE aspect at 9566' (see snow profile for details) - collapsing across slopes at high elevations - we traveled very cautiously avoiding avy terrain - saw unstable conditions, consistent with the forecast, especially at high elevations When a member of our party hit a small jump, the whole NE slope we were on at the high elevation collapsed. We were not on a slop steep enough to slide.

Snowpack

We found that the November facet layer was still active in our pit and in collapsing while we skied. There was widespread surface hoar on the surface of the snow at all elevations.
