Quick report

Glide cracks as primary avalanche problem concern, however the state of the buried rain crust is unknown since I only dug one pit and it's early season. By avoiding the glide cracks, early season conditions (and early season brains) was our main hazard.

Snowpack

Thin (10-20cm) snow coverage to about 1,500' then quickly gains depth towards 2,000' and above. The one snowpit I dug at around 2,400' SW aspect had a height of snow of 110cm. ECTX. See photo for layers.
