Snowpit and wet snow obs from Relay Peak

Pit dug in area wind loaded last night by east winds. Isolated warming instability observed in the form of roller balls on E-SE aspects below cliff bands and rock outcrops on surrounding peaks. Snowpit tests did not indicate likely propagation of slab failure within new snow, but 15 minutes later a ski cut above the pit released a small slab at the height of the upper ECTN result that refilled the pit. The higher elevation of this area slowed warming through the morning hours, but warming accelerated significantly around noon.
