Comments

Major loading of storm snow and extreme wind gusts were creative reactive storm/wind slabs in down wind terrain at multiple elevation bands.

Down 70cm from surface of snowpack exists a reactive facet /stiff slab interface reactive to extended column tests in Hard Range (sudden Planar)

Down 80 cm from surface of snowpack exists a reactive facet/crust interface reactive to extended column test in Hard Range (sudden planar ) (size 1.5 mm Facets rounding)

Great riding (50+ cms of pow pow in downwind areas)
