185 hs CTE 8 SC ECTP 9 at 25cm (Thursday 9th new snow failed on the near surface facets under the sun crust from last Tuesday/Wednesday 7/8 This slab was 4finger and easily broke a part when removing from column to flip upside down. One take away is that the newer nsf from mid week high pressure last week are slick and reactive but in this location, the new snow slab from last Thursday was weak and would not propagate a fracture very far or very large. However, wherever this new snow has formed into a harder slab I could certainly produce larger results on the nsf under the sun crust especially when heated by sun.? Also ECT BRK 30 at 125
