Storm snow/wind slab/decomposing new snow layer that is reactive to Compression tests in the Moderate Range. Also notable, we had a ECTP 30 down 90 (RP) on a Facet/Melt Freeze interface (this layer is referred to as the December 7th Crust) We ski'd low angle terrain without any concerns. We also noted two upper snowpack storm snow layers within the top 15cm however these layers are (4F) resistant (light/loose powder) and should settle in the next day or two.
