Comments
Beautiful sunny day with calm winds and mild temperatures. We stayed below treeline on E-NE aspects, found some nice powder skiing, except for the areas affected by previously fallen and frozen tree bombs. Slope tests and hand shear tests revealed reactive slab 35 cm deep. Compression tests and extended column tests gave moderate results on the Jan 17 SH layer down 35 cm (more details in snowpack observations).
