Comments

Surprisingly good snow to be found even after yesterday's wind. Our group worked the slopes above Bryant lake and found a stiffening but rideable slab overlying last week's wind slab. Tests at treeline on a partially sheltered slope gave moderate to hard compression test results with resistant planar quality down 15 to 30cm at the base of older wind slabs.
