I have a feeling this is not a recent picture...<br><br>www.biglines.com/photos_large.php?picid=26763
Just want to find out about stability and coverage up in the Tooth area. If this photo is recent and the members of this group stumble upon this post AND care to share there findings, or if anyone else has been up there since Monday I'm all ears.

I have a great view of it from yesterday from the Snow Lake saddle. Coverage looked good just about everywhere *but* that bowl. I think it has the biggest rocks in the area . It's probably fine, it just didn't look very good from far away. The slope from the bottom of the bowl down to Source Lake looked ok if you kept skier's left.<br>Stability was good overall, but the snow layers are really variable. On some east aspects we found some cohesive damp snow under the dry powder - must have got some sun on Monday. The snow was loose and cohesionless on north aspects at around 4500ft. Bond to the old snow seemed ok. Not much in the way of wind effect, but I imagine that has changed, with it gusting to over 50MPH today.<br>Had one very easy release on a stream bank down in the valley - probably burried surface hoar.
