Comments
Riding was ok, was mostly a teaching day for beginners. About 8cm of fresh snow on top of a well bonded snowpack, a little hard underneath but still fun and super easy to skin up. Had a failure in the column CTM-15 at 105cm on what appears to be a rain crust. It was a resistant failure and the column did not drop or slide off, it just dropped and slid about an inch. No other failure the rest of the compression test. A number of size 1 pint release were noted on the big SE facing slopes that were 50-100m in length.
