Observations

Skied north-facing slopes above Cutthroat Creek. Saw no signs of instability and observed right-side-up snowpack. Only did quick hand pits on the skin track but didn't discover any consolidation in the new storm snow. No signs of natural avalanches in the terrain around us. No sign of wind in the new storm snow. We skied pretty conservative angles so can't speak for snowpack reactivity in steeper, more consequential terrain.
