Description of Snow, Weather, and Avalanche Conditions:

Fun day of snowmobiling at LTS. N facing slopes still held good snow for riding. We rode sheltered North facing slopes that had decent snow, and chose ones <30 degrees to avoid the persistent slab risk. I snowmobile cut two small ~45 degree test slopes with no results. No signs of instability throughout the day but there was evidence of wind transport in open areas.
