Travel was from the White Pine parking lot in LCC and up to White Baldy in the Back of Red Pine Gulch. Skied on west facing high elevation run on the way that had not quite softened up but was still doable. Figured by now high N was the only real place to find some dry settled powder. The snow on White Baldy was settled, recrystalized powder mostly non wind affected. Was curious about the snow depth in the starting zone of the apron, I haven't seen any obs from there this year, and it only now filled in enough to call it a proper ski run, been quite awhile since it was in. Pulled my probe out and measured the snow pack in the upper part of the apron discovered there was around 6 to 7 feet of snow, must not have slid for awhile, there's still basal facets at the bottom of the pack but it would take quite a load to collapse the 6 ft slab on top, did not note any other especially weak layers in the rest of the snow-pack. Wet activity is still the main action, noted quite a bit new activity from when I was last in Red Pine on Saturday, mostly on SW facing aspects E didn't seem quite as active. Photos: wet activity on SW facing aspects, surface hoar in protected terrain growing bigger, and a shot of where i probed the snow-pack depth, right between the two sets of tracks at the top.

Still at moderate but trending toward low in most terrain, if you know how to work the aspects to avoid wet activity.
