Comments
No slides or movements observed. I did not get a change to dig a pit to check snow pack but I was checking it as we dug out machines that got stuck. Defiantly a weak layer down low about 4 feet. Snow is light and seams to be bonding. We did stay off steep slopes and run out zones, to risky to play in that stuff.
