A sunny and windy day doing an AST 1 with the South Peace Search and Rescue crew. Travel was limited today, stayed around 1350m and played around the core lodge parking lot (which is very icy!). We conducted a couple tests on a protected North-Northeast aspect, Dec crust is sitting down 70cm, test results including CTM11 down 10 (below the current MFCR / • 1m) and down 70cm, both Sudden Collapse. ECTP17 down 70cm. Depth hoar exists along the bottom 20cm 1-3m.
