HS 210 dug pit 140 cm deep on sunny side of 30 degree slope at 1674 meters elevation. Snowed over 30 cm of snow over last 3 days but melted down to 15 cm which is on top of 24 cm of pencil hard facets on top of 35 cm of pencil hard rounds with a 1 cm layer of 4 finger facets above a deep layer of pencil rounds. Did two CTM 15 RP down 34 on facet layer. Did DTTH 25 TP down 69 on 1 cm loose facet layer. Watch out with the warm weather snow pack getting heavier which can slide on either of the 2 persistant weak layers one down at 34 cm and the other down 69 cm. Seen small wet slides in super bowl area.
