Wet snow showers at Spooner

Snow showers throughout our day at Spooner, though at times it was getting close to rain. All of us stripped a layer of clothing shortly after leaving the parking area in the morning, and soaked through multiple pairs of gloves throughout the day. With all this warmth came signs of settlement in the storm snow, and no signs of instability observed today. Lots of test slopes, including wind loaded slopes, with no cracking even when stacking tracks progressively higher. Trench checks revealed a density change down 50cm from the surface, but ECTs did not propagate. The Jan 4th layer in this area was moist snow down 90cm that transitioned to dry without an abrupt interface, crust, or facets. I was careful to excavate my ECTs below this and did not get results. ECTs performed on shaded slopes at 8600ft and 8800ft, near the pindrop and on the north aspect of Genoa Peak.
