Comments
As usual, the good snow is in the trees. Dug a pit at 2400m, N/E aspect. 180cm depth, bottom 50cm is facets. No other weaknesses noticed, took a lot of effort to make the column fail. Skied sheltered trees all day, no instabilities noticed. Exposed terrain at treeline is a bit crusty.
Cloudy and -5ish all day, 5cm of fresh fell while we were out.
