Comments
Had issues with snowpilot so did a screen capture so as not to lose the profile.
Only time for a quick afternoon perimeter tour as it appears we won't have blue sky and visibility for awhile.
No instabilities noted with new snow or with the Tuesday or New Year's crusts. New Year's crust now buried 90cm and non-reactive via snow tests and multiple skiers and snowmobilers testing suspect terrain (see below).
ECTX; CT25 below upper crust now buried 40-45cm down.
Not ready to write off this structure in other terrain with less storm snow above the crusts...but favorable trend. Weekend/early week storms will be a good indication and then possibly over and done?
