Quick report
Overall, relatively strong snowpack with little to no reaction in our instability tests. There remains the potential for persistent slab avalanches as the Christmas layer still had some reaction and the small thin layer in the upper 1/3 of the snowpack. Our main areas of concern would be wind loaded and drifted slopes as these layers will be more reactive with added weight.

Snowpack
Snowpack measures 115cm at location. Has 3 distinct layers of concern. A Melt freeze crust about 5-10cm from the surface, a thin layer of facets@70cm and our Christmas layer about halfway down in the snowpack. Overall there was little reaction to our instability tests, some progressive cracking.
