Quick Observation
Dug a pit at 5800 feet south facing - ECTP11 on the storm slab 35cm down. ECTP22 at 60cm with Q1 sheer quality.
Skied conservative slopes less than 35 degrees to start the day and gained confidence in the snow pack the more we skied.
New storm snow was not cohesive enough to create storm slab issues.
Skied a few steeper small slopes later in the day. Had some small very manageable stuffing.
Some wind affected areas higher on ridges but again not slabbing or cracking.
No recent avalanche activity observed.
