Comments
Skied Thar yesterday. Height of snow at 1785m was 2 meters. 30 cm of Storm snow was very reactive as a slab. Isolated Column compression test yielded a clean shear of CT6 30 cm down. Also we found a sudden planar fracture 80cm down CT 18. Slope Angle 35. Skied ridge proper. Ski cut 2 small size 1 slabs(30cm depth)from convex feature and steep slope on descent.
Lots of people out skiing yesterday.
