Comments

Dug full pit roughly 120 cm deep, 35 deg side slope, little bit win affected.

20 cm first layer from last store, collapses and went on 1st arm hit and first half pressure jump on ski.

40 cm layer seemed ok, 60 cm layer broke on 3rd full arm swing and full ski cut jump.

Lots of different wind angles, temperature profiles and other complexities in snow pack.

Higher temps than normal have left lots of snow sinotes (Creek holes) through out the terrain.
