Wet avalanches were observed on more south facing slopes below rocky sections on Preston Peak. Rapid warming and damp snow indicate more wet slides are possible. Cooler temperatures tomorrow and next week will eventually produce a good re-freeze.

In our 2nd and 3rd pit locations, we found roughly 10cms of 2-3mm facets about 45cms deep that sit on a very hard melt freeze crust that resembled water ice. In some places it was difficult to even saw through this crust. These consistently produced CT/ECT results in the low 20's with Q2 shears. Our first pit was in a thicker snow area and while persistent weak layers were present, everything seemed well attached and snowpit tests produced no results. It took a fair bit of effort to even separate the snow layers after our snow tests.
