Wanted to get a good look at the snow and get in touch with what's out there as I begin my season in earnest. The results of my pit profile were surprising and I'm willing to chalk them up to site selection and spatial variability. While I found facets in the ground layer, they were not at all as large as I thought they would be. Overall stability of the snowpack was good and ECT produced no result. No red flags were noted during the day in my areas of travel.
