CTM 15, 15 cm down, resistant planar. CTH 25, 40 cm down, resistant planar. Only when I pulled from the back did I get the mid Nov layer to go, no movement from either of the CT fractures. The upper snow pack is fully saturated and is bonding well. With a cool down forecasted Sun/Mon the upper snowpack may lock up and act like a bridge for the lower snowpack. 270 cm of snow in this lee terrain. Skiing was ok for the first 50 m but quickly became heavy down to the bench. Freezing levels came down to around 1500 m at the tail end of the most recent storm.
