Snowpit Observations
More detailed information about the snowpack: 

Stability proved a bit better in this area today than what has been observed in other portions of the forecast area. Signs of instability were restricted to unstable snowpit test results. Skier triggered collapse of the snowpack was notably absent in this area. Propagation tests indicate that weak layer propagation remains possible if the right trigger point on the slope is found.
