Toured up to 2,000′, just past the dense trees on the ridge and rode the open meadows on the south side of the ridge. Started up around 11:30 and returned at about 5:00. Heavy snow and quite windy when we were up above the dense trees on the ridge – enough wind to stop there and enjoy the lower angle slopes near the ridge.

Dug a pit at 1700' - ECTN, CTN. Shovel sheer broke at 25 cm and 75cm with some force. Snowpack was right side up, progressing from F to P in our pit.
