Field Obs/Column Tests 18 CT's and 4 ECT's performed in an isolated wind loaded terrain feature. CT results were MOD - HARD, all SC at a depth of 14-45cms on same 1-2mm FC. The 3 other ECT's produced Non-propagating cracks - Hard range. The Propagating result could be repeated and was an ECTP25 down 45 on same 1-2mm FC. It sould be noted that all slopes below the highest point in the area - 1936m) (outside of the ski area snowmaking) are below threshold, so no actual avalanche danger exists in this area currently.
