Snowpit attached from an east aspect at 9400', south of Cooke City today.
HS 250 cms, with the Feb. 3rd dust layer about 100cms from the surface. EXTX.
Below the dust layer there were 1mm rounding facets, that were 1F hard.
No avalanche activity observed, with LOTS of looking around. No collapsing, no cracking.
Temps around 40F in the valley, but minimal wet loose activity observed so far. The warmup has been gradual the last 2 days, with good freezes at night.
Also, there was a wolverine up on the mountain this morning!
