Comments

Wind affected up high but still soft in places. Dug two compression tests at 1925m, 171 degrees, ~30 degrees slope. From top: 0-3cm F; 3-35cm 4F; 35-130cm 1F (didn't dig deeper but about 1m more snow to ground. Compression 22x2 not so clean shear at 45cm (soft layer under first bit of firmer snow), but ~24x2 clean shear at 50cm and ~26x2 clean shear at 55cm.

Also skied up high on supported lower angle slopes - a bit of soft on top wind affected snow.
