Instability Comment
<p>Quick ECT:</p> <p>9600' HS 86 ECTX</p> <p>Overall today had great riding conditions especially for 2021. I found 2.5-4" of new snow that dramatically improved conditions. I still found a lot of supportable and unsupportable wind skins on various aspects. I dug one pit near West Monitor and the takeaways that I found were that I saw no failure or propagation and once I took a closer look all the facets (37cm -GND) were bonded quite well. Of course we will see how everything holds up to a new load from this upcoming storm. </p> <p>There was a soft wind slab built up on the West side of the PC Ridgeline. </p>

Found 2.5" of new snow on protected north aspects
