- <p>Several suspect layers within the current storm cycle slab. 3 consectutive tests failed initially at ect8 with a q1 shear (at 12in depth from surface). Removing that failure we then received propagation at ect11 and ect13 with a q1 shear at 24inches depth. </p>

- <p>This failure (ect11 & 13 @ 24in) is of great concern as the 'step down' likely hood is very high should anything move. Which judging from current weather, tonights predicted storm, and the friday/saturday breezy front coming through we're going to see some action.</p> <p>Beneath our storm slab are 2 faceted layers that have yet to activate. They're areas of concern, and could be our front runners for persistent slab issues in the coming weeks.</p>
About 4-5 inches over night sitting atop roughly 32" of the new snow slab. Total snowpack depth at pit location 40"
