Comments

Cold very windy day up in the Allen creek area. Good 25cm of fresh snow and even more in snow loaded areas. Column test results hard and broke at 50cm down. Looked and felt like old layer from a while back but it’s still lingering around. Was on a south facing wind loaded face at 2200alt with about 245cm of snow pack
