Went up White Pine this morning, spotted these two slides. They look to be from the last few days, and judging from the aspect they were probably caused by a combination of storm snow and wind activity. I'm not certain of that because I didn't see them go but I also didn't see any tracks there and those spots aren't seeing a bunch of sun.
Aside from those slides I found variable conditions from unbreakable crusts on lower elevation southern aspects to pretty decent if dense recrystallized stuff in the trees. I dug one pit facing North-Northwest at around 10000' that had a bunch of cruddy layers and almost no propagation, meaning only my shovel shear test failed after a little pulling. There was about a finger sized crust layer it failed at around 100 cm deep.
