Easy shooting cracks BTL at 9am in the shade between skin tracks on slopes greater than 35 degrees. Could not repeat at TL past Brockton point. Snowpack was moistening in the top 5cm at 3pm on s facing pump peak. At 2pm on a n facing 10 degree slope near Brockton point at 1260m we got an ECTn dn 40 BN on dfs. And a CTM12 dn 40. FC/CR down 95 in this zone and unreactive to CT.
