Weather

Signs of windloading from the day before, even broken tree tops, snow ghost/snow balls.

Snowpack

East facing wind loaded slope. Very firm and deep. <5cm of light new snow then dense wind slabs with weak layer at 30cm, 60cm. ? Crust at 100 then weak faceted snow layer at 110. Ct 13 at 30, ct 25 at 60cm. 110 layer didnt pop but came off pretty easy with my shovel. Also felt like weak faceted layer at ground close to 230-240… did not dig that deep but would not want to step down to that layer.
