Strawberry Slog

Went out to gather more information related to our current persistent problem and monitor for developing storm instabilities. 

• Light snowfall and moderate SW winds near ridge lines with light snow transport.  Not enough new snow yet for any surface instabilities.
• We observed no signs of instability such as cracking, collapsing, or recent avalanches. However, stability tests at mid elevations showed a mix of propagating and non-propagating results. Westerly aspects consisted of 4F slab (10-20" thick) over several faceted grain layers.
• Given these test pit results, we were cautious of certain steep slopes.
