Toured up to Skyline lake then to the NE side saddle and down to about 4,950'. Skinned back up to the ridge/saddle to the East, then skied down to the PCT and back out. Dug a pit at about 5,250' on the East saddle (East facing) and found a weak layer about 35 cm from the surface (ECT18). Other than that, the snow felt very stable
