Snowpack

Last nights rime event gave us 2" @ 27 % with a thin zipper on W and up to a 1/2" zipper on E aspects. Ski pen is down to 5 cm's. Slabs were still soft F-4F on all aspects. Very upside down feeling with the PPr on top. Skier compacted areas on W BTL stood up to HE tests and air blasts. Outer limits apron ASc fractured 2' deep 50' wide and held after HE test. Compacted areas continued to hold while uncompacted areas were reactive to explosives. E aspects slabs were still F hard w/ no results from explosives. Seem to be bonding well to MFC below.
