Skied the Old Growth on Bardini and then the ridge separating the two tele bowls this AM. Stability was good on all slopes we observed. The area has seen heavy traffic during the storm cycle and a good skin track is currently in with lots of folks out skiing today.

Dug a hasty pit on a 35deg slope at 9,300' just below the ridgeline leading to the summit. Profile is available here. ECT yielded no major results nor did tap test on isolated column. In pockets and openings where wind loading had occured the newly transported snow (3-6") was slightly reactive.

Lots of folks getting out onto the Sherwins and other knolls and areas around Mammoth. Be safe out there and please let us know what you're seeing.

A party of two skied the Bardini Chutes today without any signs of instability.
