East winds transporting snow along ridgetops. Had good visibility a few times as the sun popped out. Didn't see any new activity, other than an old glide avalanche on Fresno that looked like a recent avalanche.
Observation: Summit
Location: Manitoba
Skinned up Manitoba to around 2400′, skies cleared for a few brief periods to get a look around. Didn’t see any new activity, but east winds were transporting snow along ridge-tops.

HS=170cm, but only dug down 120cm
January facets were down 47cm below the surface, 0.5-1mm in size, fist hard layer, very obvious line in the snowpit. Almost looked like surface hoar near the interface, but none found.

A few nice sucker holes today in Summit
Fresno Ridge, East aspect. I believe this avalanche is an old glide?
