SP CTM 17, at 107 from ground. No result on facets at bottom, this layer is changing from a ice layer to sugary small facets, evidence of facets in various layers in snow pack. with only a failure at 107 the remaining we saw it fail but did not slide, slope angle was 27' observations on windward side of small windrow that is forming. Unsupported ski cut showed same failure at 107, No sluffing or sliding on slope when skied, small open glade well supported at trees and well within below tree line. No evidence of natural activity on the slope aspect.
