We dug a 150cm deep pit on the North aspect of Dream Chutes to find the persistant slab problem. We performed a layer identification test as well at a compression test. We had a CTM at 14 with a Q2 RP fracture at about 75cm deep. The layer hardness is below: 150cm - 135cm - F 135cm - 115cm - F 115cm - 110cm - 1F 110cm - 100cm - 1F 100cm - 85cm - 1F 85cm - 80cm - P 80cm - 70cm - P 70cm - 55cm - 1F 55cm - 45cm - P 45cm - 35cm - P 35cm - 0cm - K *Did not dig to ground. Snow depth was >270cm*
