Some instability south of Quake Lake

We skied three runs south of Quake Lake, up to 9400 ft. Most snow was crusty until it warmed up, but we found some powder in the shade and on north and east aspects, especially up high.  Dug a pit at 8400 ft, N aspect, 32-degree slope.  Result was ECTN-20 at 25 cm, and ECTN-22 at 35 cm.  Sheared fairly cleanly.  We were halfway up the avalanche chute at that point, so skied down with no incidents and skied two other tree runs.
