Skied both gullies at church today.

Lots of good skiing to be had still in the south gully and middle trees, north gully is skied out and choppy.

Weather was overcast, light snow and occ mild wind.

Temp was around -8 at 2000m

No naturals observed.

SH found in sheltered pockets from 1580-1700m 0.5cm

Pit dug between gullies at 2060m

28 degree slope

HS150

NS4cm overlaying WSl~5cm thick

CT visualized cracks at 28taps on weak layer 45cm down (early dec.SH?)

Mid pack appears well consolidated.

Nov crust appears to be faceting in basal layer.
