Comments

Quick test pit at 2150m - north facing, 40', ridge crest, wind loaded. CTM7, CTM8 down 20-25cm clean planar - storm snow interface. Soft slab on top. Did not react to numerous ski tests on un-supported slopes.

Hoar frost growth on all slopes, not just in creek beds. Facets occuring, which made the skiing great.

Crown lines from last storm cycle on many steeper slopes with re-loaded snow.
