More detailed information about the snowpack: 

Revisited a previous observation area that showed hard wind slab results from 12/7/2017.  NW aspect at 9320', on a 28 degree slope, at noted lat/long on observation.  Today, similiar conditions existed.  Hard wind slab was 6 to 8'' thick and pencil hard over fist hard faceted snow beneath.  Results were ECTP-21 and 1.7m ECTP-21.  This is still considered an isolated problem that is unlikely to produce an avalanche at this point.
