Comments
Dug pit at 1900 m, N aspect on 36° slope. HS 280. CTE-3 15 dn collapse on new storm snow. CTM-13 30 dn resistant planar. Storm snow wasn’t bonding well with fast and large propagation. Good bonding throughout rest of column below crust at 250.
From our pit results we knew storm slabs were likely. We triggered two small slides and experienced lots of sloughing.
