the snowpack test results was enough red flags for us to make a decision to turn around and not traverse across the slope. Read further for snowpack results on the next tab...
Snowpack
Rotten snowpack! First layer of concern was down 20cm and produced easy sudden planar results on the Dec 5 MFcr. Next layer down of concern was a 2cm thick sun crust with facets below and above it; it produced moderate sudden collapse results on the Nov 21 interface. Everything below was all facets; sugary garbage!
