Snowpack

A 3mm ice formation rain crust on the top of the snowpack was observed at all elevations. Some small wind slabs were active to human triggers. We performed two compression tests a few hundred meters down from the ridge line on a aspect 37 degree slope in the glades. Both columns had easy compression results down 30cm resistant planer on preserved surface hoar size 3-6mm
