TP @ 1550m on SW open slope. CTE10 (SP) down 30 on PP/DF 2-3mm CTH28 (SC) down 55 on FC 2.0mm ECTN 14 down 30 on PP/DF 2-3mm Slope tests produced easy shears down 30 on HST interface but with no propagation propensity. Ski cuts produced sz 1 loose dry avalanches in steep terrain. No recent natural avalanche activity observed. Average HS 220cm.
