- Storm time up on the hill today. This limited where we were able to travel however we did make a brief trip up to 2200m for a quick look in the snow. The NE aspect we decided to inspect had a mix of up to 15cm of fist HST or pockets of 30cm 4 finger wind slab. We opted to test one of these pockets and found repeated sudden collapses down 35 cm on a preserved surface hoar layer. This same layer failed full block on ECT and to our surprise we also had the upper wind slab fail full block on a stellar layer. Both on the same tap. Moderate sustained winds and steady snowfall persisted though the day.
