Two notable failures: CTM13 @ 60 down SC on Facets CTM14 @ 30 down SC Storm Slab Hardness was 4F 280-220cm, 1F 220-210, 4F 210-209 Fc ,then 1F to 180 Was looking for the closest Fc layer of concern that was between 40-80, looks to be 70down BTL in this zone. There were small size 1’s from the storm on Monday. Didn’t get any pictures because the skiing was too good and we needed to get our 7 laps in.
