Today's tour was up Bowman Fork through Yellowjacket Trees to the N. Ridge of Gobbler's then down Cabin Run and out the beautiful Pole Canyon. Trace of snow on the ground, but nothing significant and seems like yesterday's system produced some graupel . HS measurements ranged from 10cm on the ridge to nearly bottomless in crossloaded pockets. Unfortunately, average HS around 9,000' to 10,000' in this part of the Wasatch seems to be around 60cm. The sun crust on solar aspects below 8,500' was unsupportive and over one inch thick with weak snow below it. No snow profile today. I'm pretty sure we know what the problem is and regardless of any test results I'm not skiing anything steeper than 30 for a long time.

Worth mentioning that the current snow surface is beginning to show signs of weakening. We can only hope that we don't start to deal with two PWL problems.
