Disclaimer: we didn't skin to ridgelines where drifts and pillows were likely.

On our low-to-mid elevation route wind had affected skiing on shaded aspects, but short steepish N and NE test slopes were unreactive and there was little to suggest wind slab hazard. Quick handpits revealed some crusts, graupel, and lowdensity layers near the surface but nothing that sheared easily or with smooth planes. Unlike yesterday's tour in Broadsfork, the slopes of Provo weren't adorned with shallow crowns from natural wind slab activity. In short, it would take some cleverness and persistence to find the sensitive wind slab in our area.

Wet loose avalanching really wasn't noted despite poor refreeze, warm temps, and calm winds. Perhaps south east through west slopes have seen enough previous warming to be less affected by these conditions than a colder winter snowpack would be? Quick pit on South 7800' revealed isothermal snowpack (not true of North facing 8000), while lower solar aspects have melted off entirely in many places. The last week has ushered brown back into a previously white landscape.
