Comments

Conducted an ECT on the SW ridge at tree line near ~2,000’ with no results. First 80cm is fist, next 40cm were 4 finger. Conducted another column at a similar elevation on the W side and similarly no results. Skiing was decent but some sun affected snow. Day was partially cloudy with more sun later on. No appreciable wind.
