Weather Comments: 

Everything was wind affected with the exception of Lower beginner bowl.   After starting with mellow runs and digging a few pits we moved into Miller bowl for a bit more of the steeps.  The snowpack looked/felt solid.  We did not get any sluffing, whomphing, shooting cracks, recent avalanches or other obvious signs of instability.  The only concern on the pit tests was with the faceted snow layer below the old rime crust.  It failed on several compression tests at between 22 and 28 hits but I couldn't get anything to go on the extended column test.
