Comments
Found Jan 18 layer 35 to 45 cm down. Repeated moderate sudden planar CT results on Jan 18 layer at both treeline and above. Hard ECT propagation result @ treeline. ECT no result in alpine. Wind has formed breakable crust/slab in top 10-15cm of snowpack. Saw sluffing and small slab activity in steep terrain and below corniced ridgecrests. Both surface snow and Jan 18 appear to be unreactive to skier and snowmobile traffic.
