We was in Montana bowl skiing upper and tree line today, at around 2,200m the snow was wind affected and very crusty. Performed a CT at roughly same altitude probe depth went too 250cm, had a storm slab break on 4th tap from wrist about 20cm and then again on 7th tap same again about 20cm. Still showing signs of a persistent layer down at 90cm. After the CT we stayed in the trees and seemed pretty stable.
