Comments
On bench at 1800 m in open trees had two whumpfs and settling on two sleds 20 m apart. Test results on SE aspect 25 degree slope at 1850 m near tree line showed CTE 3 failure at 45 Cm on Dec frost layer and CTM 12 failure at 90 cm on rain crust. Snow pack was 170 cm and decreasing with altitude in open terrain from wind action. Exposed rocks near summit on south and west slopes
