Today, we traveled as though it was considerable-high danger and stuck to slopes less than 30 ° in steepness. We found great snow on all aspects including south and west facing slopes. The quote for the day was "today was a terrain management day, not a pit digging day" (G. Miller).
We dug a few hasty pits but with the stout melt-freeze crust under the newest snow we were looking for new snow instabilities and wind-drifted snow problems. We found instabilities in the newest snow. Where we traveled today we did not notice a significant amount of wind-loading although we would suspect that there were natural avalanches occurring in steeper wind-loaded terrain. We avoided steep north-east facing terrain with a shallow snowpack that may be harboring the old persistent weak layer (PWL) from earlier this season.
