Snowpit Observations
More detailed information about the snowpack: 

Balmy at the start of the day with increasing winds and snowfall as the day progressed, maybe 1-2" accumulation while we were out. About 5000' was the magic line for the snowpack. Dug one pit at 6400 on a South facing aspect. Depth 280 + cm. There was a (ski) supportable solar crust about 15-25 cm, failed at CT 11. Our biggest red flag was 80 cm ECTP 22 Q2. We exited on north aspects where no crust was found.
