Comments

hiked past the aftermath of a natural size 2 on West aspect in natural run out path from previous day / storm . riding was decent but nothing to write home about , stayed in the trees on mellow n/nw aspects with little to no worry

120 cm snowpack at test location NW aspect

0/30 compression failures on CT test

storm slab layers at 15 to 20 cm and 40 to 45 cms

did not preform ECT test but felt confident in snowpack after ct test

solid snow pack on all aspects we played on ! ( n / nw )

enjoy .
