Snowpack

CTM18 sudden planar on a potential surface hoard layer down 45cm. ETCH29 with resistant planar propagating halfway trough the column. The density on top of this weak layer was ranging from 4f for the first 5cm and 1f for the rest. We also did a propagation saw test on the weak layer down 45cm with no result. We observed no reaction on the dec 6 rain crust down 120cm.

Avalanche

Avalanche potentially started because of a cornice failure. Large propagation and ran to the ground. Vis was poor so sorry for the poor picture quality
