I dug multiple snowpits at many elevations and aspects. Some were on similar aspects and elevations to the recent avalanche that injured and buried 2 snowboarders. That slope is circled in the photo. Nothing I found concerned me, so maybe it's an isolated problem? The main concern could become the snow surface.
The first three pit profiles are from relatively low elevations. The first one shows a very thick crust formed when some of last weeks precipitation fell as rain at this location. The other pits have a slight crust.
The pit graph and the two photos are from the same location. You can see the ECT that broke on 26 hits but did not propagate across.
At 10,100 feet, on a north aspect the snow depth was over 2.5 meters (over 8 ft) deep. Coverage in the Uinta Mountains is unbelievable.
