Snowpack: Large glide cracks observed on a SSE aspect below the Gothic Road. Otherwise, no obvious signs of instability were observed. Our group dug to 130 cm down but was unable to identify any buried SH and nothing was reacting in a small column test. Moist Pow skiing down to the river if you stayed away from any hint of solar aspect.
