Weather

Sunny day overall with minimal sun affect on steep, S aspect in ALP.

Snowpack

HS = 100cm. Test profile was chosen in a relatively thin, windward area with a consistent shaly ground cover, about 80m elevation below exposed ridge. Slope = 30 deg. Notable failure: CTE (4, 7) 25 down on Dec 13 SH (1-3mm). SH looks to be rounding but is still "standing up". Not enough slab formation above Dec 13 SH (at this location) to be at critical. Skiing on this SW asp felt "spongy".
