- <p>No outward signs of instability noted.</p>
Hand pit at 9100 feet on a south facing slope revealed 18 inches of total snow, prominent crust at about 6 inches off the ground.
Ten inch thick slab sitting on top of crust appears to be the biggest potential problem. Moderately well adhered for now.
Good supportable riding on high-elevation south-facing moderate-steepness terrain.
Snowpack
The top few inches were low density powder. Wetter snow below that froze up tight with a grippy surface, good supportable shallow powder riding on high elevation south aspects.
