Comments

Low elevation exploration 700-1000m, throughexisting cutblocks watching that Dec9 SH get buried..... now sitting 40-50cm below the surface with a soft slab overlying.

CTM (20)(18) down 40cm SC on SH

PST 51/100 END down 40 as well

Test pit N aspect on 32 deg

Expecting to start seeing natural avalanche activity with the continued loading on that buried surface hoar from today in the steeper slopes even at these low elevations! Thresholds are starting to be reached!!!
