Comments

Nice day at Bow Summit, lots of folks getting after it

Did two column tests with same result next small gully north from main run

2350 m

East aspect

35 degree

110 hs

Both failed CTM15 on facets at 10 from surface. Surprised to not have results on the very evident rain crust.

One small avalanche (size 1-1.5?) observed on way down, just to lookers left of Flower. Alpine wind increased as day went on.
