Went up to assess avalanche danger for access to the radio towers on Edna Peak. The obvious wind drifts and wind slabs were the only thing that I really noted and these seem to be firmly in place and perhaps not much of a concern right now. In a sheltered area I dug a snowpit to the ground to see if there were any layers of concern within the snowpack. There is a layer of faceted sugary snow in the mid portion of the pack presumably formed around the Christmas/New Years time period. This layer was not particularly weak and was not reactive with any types of snowpit tests. I'm not sure if it is present in other locations around the Tushars but if it is I'd probably keep an eye on it during future storms to see if it becomes reactive or if it perhaps gains strength and ends up not being issue.

Here's a few photos of the surrounding terrain. Below, looking southwest from Edna toward Mt Holly:
