A heavy hearted trip to the blow me downs today. We found variable depths of windslab (50-100cm) sitting on a bullet proof ice layer. A thin layer of facets sit on top of the crust. They seem to be bonding as we got hard results from our snow pack test. That said, we were not ready to trust them in steep, open, unsupported terrain.
