More detailed information about the snowpack: 

Today, we took a short tour off Ghoulie. A pit on the lee NE slope showed a far less developed crust beneath both major layers of recent loading, and though numerous high friction collapses occured, we found no propogation. 

Solar aspects observed across Canyon Creek picked up some roller balls and minor point release action later in the afternoon.
