Plan for the day was to ski some laps on the Days Fork Headwall and possibly Main Days. I had travelled in that area a number of times near the end of the high pressure dry spell and was *pretty* confident it didn't have bad facets that other drainages are plagued with. After probing around a little we skied Oingo Boingo, which already had some tracks and a skin track in it. Snow structure felt right side up and didn't see any signs of instabilities. While reascending we did some more pole probing and everything felt really bomber.

For our next lap we dropped into Two Dogs without incident. However, while setting the return track on the main headwall we did some probing and started to feel a much different structure. We decided to dig a full pit and perform an extended column test. To our surprise, there was a 10cm layer of dry facets about one meter down. Quite a bit different than what we were seeing less than 200 yards away on Boingo. Results of the extended column test was ECTP21. After probing a few surrounding spots and trying to convince ourselves this was an anomaly, we were still finding the same structure. Decided to cut bait and move on to something more mellow. Felt both embarrassed and lucky that we didn't trigger a slide on Two Dogs.

As the morning wore on, several groups skied Two Dogs and finished our up-track without incident. Hard to feel super confident with so much spatial variability and terrible snow structure in places. Definitely in the realm of low probability high consequence. We will be playing the avoidance card for a little while longer until we start to see some healing on the February weak layers.
