Thar Peak

The rain that fell on Thursday night/Friday morning looks to have created a rain crust that sits below between 10-25cm of new snow that fell on Friday night. ECT was done at 1942M elevation on an E facing 35-degree slope. There is a 2cm thick rain crust below 20cm of wet new snow. Compression showed moderate results (5 taps from the elbow with the new snow releasing on the rain crust. Propagation on this layer ran 40cm across the block. We skied out on a SE facing slope and observed multiple point releases from snow falling from trees and overhead rock. The largest was on a 40degree slope that was large enough to cover the skin track. Though it was mainly cloudy, sunny breaks started to produce pinwheels that rolled into balls large enough to injure a skier.
