I was out at Hoyt Peak again today. The snow is really piling up. The upper elevations received 8-10 inches of light density snow in the last 24 hours whcih I could blow out of my hand. The wet heavy snow underneath was supporting my skis but not my sled. I wasn't able to get any collapses and cracking was limited to freshly formed cornices. I dug on an upper elevation NW facing slope. I was a little suprised to see as much as 205 cm's of snow but the average was about 150-175 cm. My stablity test suggests the entire snow pack could easily pull out on steeper slopes. I was able to get an isolated block to propagate cleanly and slide off with only one arm tap pulling out the entire snow pack in one large block and I was only in 27 degree terrain.
