Quick report

The buried weak layer appears to be bonding better in the North but still getting reports of it being reactive in different spots (mainly to the South)

I would investigate this later before I committed to any avalanche terrain. It is on top of a crust 30-50cm down

No clear signs of instability in the basin or on the approach

Snowpack

The buried weak layer (4/7) was about 50cm deep on the N aspect in the basin. While it was still an obvious weak layer the tests we did, didn't result in propagation. It was easy to ID in other spots with hand pits and moved easily.  It appears to be more bonded Farther north in the range
