My partner and I toured from Solitude up Silver Fork ascending the uptrack in the aspens. Lower on the skin track snow depths were quite shallow and new storm snow was only about 6". As we gained elevation the amount of snow increased from about 6" at 8200' to about 10-12" around 9400'. We dug a pit on an east aspect, 9400', and did not get full propogation on our ECT. The column failed on the weak facets around 15 taps but did not propogate across the column which was encouraging but not to be trusted. We skied skier's right of Brad's Line in the trees and didn't experience any movement, back to the skin track was shallow but no sluffing or movement.

Sorry no photos....too cold this morning
