- <p>We had very good results in our stability tests showing a poor structure, high propagation, and low friction. The snow seemed to have high strength required a lot of force on the ECT and CT tests. The lower snow pack exhibited 4-5 lemons.</p> <p>I was in a wind loaded area, but found sensitive wind slabs with a graupel layer sandwiched between them. This shows a good structure with moderate strength and had high friction with low propagation.</p>
My observation was in a very wind affected area. The snow was wind blown and packed in fairly tight.
