Sunday was clear, however very strong WNW winds
Snowpack
On saturday 1/22 we had our CT block pop out when cutting the back of the column. 2nd test got a CT9 Q1. This occurred on a 32 deg slope. This occurred just below treeline, same aspect, approximately 11700'. We had a RB score of 1.5 also. The failure layer was 85cm up at the top of the basal facet layer. We were in the trees so there was not a stiff wind slab
