Log Cabin

Ski tour on Log Cabin mountain above treeline into lower alpine. Surface snow in the lower alpine is windpressed but carveable. Powder in the trees. Treeline temp -5 C mix of sun and cloud. In the alpine south wind was starting to transporting snow around noon. We dug a profile at 1250m on an NE aspect where the snow was 180 cm deep and found a couple weak interfaces in the upper snowpack. A fresh thin windslab has formed on the top 10 cm. We had moderate CT down 10cm and hard CT and ECT results down 20 cm and 35 cm. At 35cm down there were well preserved buried surface hoar up to 5mm in size.
