Snowpack

CT10Q2, RB3Q1 Dynamic release, 10,995' elevation, 22 degree slope, NE aspect at treeline, Pit depth was approx 165cm deep. Failure was on well-defined buried surface hoar layer approx 60cm below surface. There were multiple weak layers (45cm or so) underneath the failing layer all on top of 60cm of rotten sugar. The new snow from this week appears to have bonded moderately well to the storm from last Sat night.
