Comments
South west 7200 feet
180cm to ground
Compression test
ctm 30 hard no result
faceted snow from ground to 50 cm ,
With a strong cohesiveness for 150cm from ground and 30 cm of blower fresh pow on top , small class 1 loose Avy easily triggered on slopes over 30 by our sleds , but really good base 15cm bonded well . Huge dumps in past 24 hours and still dumping !
