Ebbetts Pass SnowMo

Mostly sunny, light winds, partly high cloudy later in the day. No wind transported snow observed.  Deeper snow was found in N facing mostly shaded areas 12-30", otherwise variable snow in sunny areas. We looked specifically for an area with weak facets under recent snow (wind sheltered NE aspect at 8700ft), and did numerous snowpack tests. 2x ECTPs with audible thuds as the collapsing weak layers propagated across the columns. Otherwise no signs of instability in the facets observed. Rollerballs and very small wet loose avalanches observed on the way out in some steep N and NW areas.
