Quick report

The President;s ride group noted the hollow wind slab at elevations above ~3100 yet observed no sign of reactivity. The warm temps affected the snow at all locations, softening the wind slab and creating hot(ish) pow down low. Roller balls were also noted below rocks.

Snowpack

Depth hoar noted throughout all areas observed via frequent pole probes. The president's ridge group in particular noted poor structure with 1F slab overlying fist hard depth hoar when digging at 3000' on an E aspect. Test results at this location however did not produce a propogating result nor did tests conducted 2958 on Hatch Ridge east aspect by the other group.
