Weather

18F, Winds NW 15, Skies: SCT,

Snowpack

Poor Stability: Highly Variable Wind Slab under 8cm of new snow. 15 to 20 cm of fist plus/4f minus Facets over a 4F facet layer yielding back to a much weaker facet layer around 30 cm from the ground. Large faceted grains from the ground up to that 36-ish cm realm. I was trying to isolate the Wind Slab and get some propagation info on that layer with an ECT but the ECT fell on my leg as I was just finishing the cut.
