Comments
Overall pretty stable, stayed fairly low elevation and found the goods. Found two layers of graupel, one at approx. 165 cm and one that failed on ECT-P 22 that we found surprising. NE facing, about 9300' and 20-30 ft down from the crest of a ridge. It didn't fail with much energy but I could see it triggering a slide if you caught a pocket of graupel at the right place with some force. Overall quite stable though, the snow has settled well and the warm air is helping it along, it felt pretty good but hard to really judge avy danger when you stay in easily manageable terrain. Pics of the graupel and ECT failure below.
