- <p>No red flags today where I traveled.</p>
This snow pit on a northeast facing slope on the north end of Double Hill had no propagation with an ECT test. The column of snow just mushed down after several hard hits from the shoulder. It felt like the snow pack had no energy at this location. Seems like the slab that is in the middle of the snow pack has gotten less slab like.
Even on the ridge lines the weak faceted snow on the surface has developed with the calm mild weather.
The snow around bushes and depressions is quite punchy and unsupportable and has some of the weakest snow I found.
Hope the storms that are forecasted this week deliver and improve the overall snow conditions. It is still very thin down around the trail head.
Snowpack
Seemed like there was no shortage of weak faceted snow on the surface all around the compass. Generally the snow pack seems to be holding up, but there are those shallow places around bushes and terrain features that felt punchy with bottomless weak sugary snow.
