20 cm of new snow. Strong winds causing wind loading of lee ward slopes. Two hard wind slabs down 32 and 80 cm with no reaction on compression test. Had CTM 19,20 SP down 100 cm on faceted layer from mid November. So there is a large slab of 100 cm deep that with a moderate trigger will fracture causing large slab avalanches. Faceted layer is about 20 cm deep and goes to ground. HS 120 cm.
