Overall great snow, great weather, and great stability. The crust/facet layer from Jan 23 or 26 would not break in stability tests. However, a more shallow layer of RR facets under a crust from Jan 31 would consistently break (ECTP14 - see video below). This layer should get enough heat this week to heal. Additionally we did not see any cracking or other signs that this layer is a problem, but it's worth just making a note of for now.

The snowpack is deep, strong, and stable (nothing new). This was very apparent when my riding partner cut a three foot deep trench on top of a 40 degree slope. The snow was just glued in place. While this doesn't count as anything official, I just don't typically see the snow allow a sled cut a trench quite like this.
