Skiing

Climbed up to the ridgeline above Hebgen lake and dug on a SE aspect at ~8800 ft. HS 112 cm. Found around 8 inches of new snow at upper elevations and both of the weak layers we’ve been concern about. ECTN11 x 2 on the facets just beneath the new snow and no results on the lower facets. No signs of instability observed throughout the day. Not quite enough of a slab here above the upper facets, but definitely wouldn’t trust them in places with a wind load or more new snow.
