Snowpack

We dug our pit down to the RC from earlier this season. It was 2-3cm thick. Pack tests could trigger the persistent slab layer, but had a break down 10cm PTL9 and PTM16. Snow pack is consolidating well to the RC, but it will be a problem in the spring. TL snow was crust and wind affected, but turned soft and deep power passing back into the BTL on mellower slopes. Max grade of the day was 35 degrees
