No base on hike in below ~300m with minimal tree coverage… your expected early season conditions dodging blowdown and sticks on decent. On ridge NE slope noted thin crust with 30cm fresh. Snow depth 160cm with failure in ECT on second elbow strike at 60cm. No signs of instability skiing in the trees on mellow slopes. Spot forecast: -3 at 1680m LT snow, overcast.
