Comments

AST 2. Dug a couple of snow profiles on in Connaught Creek on the way to the Grizzly slidepath. No significant shear results in profiles. Decided not to venture any further due to extreme winds and large amounts of new snow. Observed some debris running all the way to the creek in the Grizzly slidepath from within the last 12hrs.
