Little and Baby Kahuna

We found great snow in sheltered north facing slopes. We started in smaller alpine features and as we gained confidence in the storm snow bond, we moved into steeper more connected terrain up to 40 degrees. We dug a test profile in the lower alpine and did not get any significant results in an extended column tests. A ski cut in an immediate leeward terrain feature produced a size 1 avalanche. Our morning started at -8 deg, we had intermittent periods of sunshine throughout the day, and it gradually warmed to -1 deg. South aspects continue to get baked by the sun. In our travels we also noticed an avalanche (natural size 2) in the Big Kahuna ski run that was more recent than the one reported a week ago.
