Snowpack

On E aspects - 2 reactive weak layers. One layer of preserved F hard PP about 30 cm blow the surface. The second layer is a 4F hard FC layer about 90 cm from the top. Several avalanches about 30 cm deep on east aspect suggest that this PP layer has wide distribution across the area. See snowpit for more details.
