General Observations

Lutak zone, 2800ft. observed multiple fresh natural soft slab avalanches on NE, SE, and S aspects near 3000ft. These ran within the new storm snow. Also got eyes on the 3865 deep slab avalanche from last weekend. It appears that slide was around 6ft deep.

New snow was around 2ft deep. Low density pow!

Dug a pit on a NE aspect at 2800ft, 30 degree slope. Very Easy CT results 30cm down (on stellars) showed the storm snow is quite fragile. CTE down 60cm on new/old interface. ECTN3 down 30cm. ECTN14 down 50cm, and ECTN23 down 60cm. See pit graphic.
