Snowpack

ECTH BRK. Nov 20 Surface hoar layer not reactive on solar affected slopes. Found more of a sun crust with good surface roughness and good bonds to the new snow. Surface hoar could have been broken down in part by wind as well. CTM SP failed 25 down on interface between Nov 20 and Nov 26 storms. This layer was not reactive in ECT Pit dug on 33 degree slope

Avalanche

pictured. Also found a few small naturals lower down on NW-NE aspects. Found no natural activity larger than size 1. We ski cut up to size 1.5 on steeper slopes of the same aspect. Touchy wumphing and cracking widespread, but solar affected slopes (E-SW) failed to propagate even on steep terrain (up to 40 degrees)
