No results on ECT. CT tests reflected the faceted snow underneath the wind affected snow from this week as the weakest interface. Shears were Q3 quality with moderate force required to initiate.
A good part of the day was like this.
The new snow did wonders for the the conditions but it's still low tide in the Uintas with a lot of obstacles just barely covered by the new snow. Wind will be the factor to watch before the next forecasted storm. Low to moderate danger depending on elevation and aspect.

- <p>The storm snow seems to have fallen pretty quietly with not much wind, adding about a 1/2" of water to the snowpack. The pre-storm winds added more weight to the pack via wind transport than this storm did in my opinion, so I didn't feel like there was much of a difference in overall stability compared to the last few days. </p>
6"-8" of right side up, snow overnight. Snowfall rates heavy for a short period of time last night. 1"-3" new snow during the day today, elevation dependent with higher elevations receiving more.
