Several Extended Column Tests and Compression Tests on North and West aspects yielded no repeated results. Windslab on East ridge lines was very touchy and was slabbing 20-40 cms deep. We avoided skiing East aspects. About 20cms of low density snow on breakable crust made for good low angle skiing. Lower pack below crust seemed relatively uniform and well consolidated. Watch facets forming under crust esp. on North Aspects.
