Comments
Stayed on low angle slopes, with no overhead hazards, while on low angle slope skinning up we had a massive whump that produced fracture lines all around, would have slide if we were on steeper terrain. Coverage is getting better in the high alpine(still some rocks). 1850 and lower still needs better coverage. Test show Reactive layer near the bottom of the snow pack still.
