Beautiful day with great, consolidated snow on the NW-facing chutes on Table. 290 cm snow depth; CTH27 stability test results, Q3 shear. In pit on ridge, top 100 cm of snow was a mix of decomposing crystals, facets, and rounding facets that was all mostly consolidated, but conditions were less consolidated and great skiing in the chute.

Small crown observed across the canyon. Looking from Table Mountain skintrack to the subpeak east of Treasure Mountain on cliffy face west of Death Shelf. Couldn't take measurements or pictures due to distance, but looked like a natural slide from wind loading that entrained snow over several cliff bands and ran nearly to the creek bottom.
