- <p>To check out the facets, I dug a pit to the ground on the shoulder of Steam Mill, 9000ft, NE. There is a total of 225cm (88.5 inches) with the bottom 30cm (12 inches) faceted. I found no other layers of significance and did no stability tests on these very deep facets. This would be a major slide if it went to the ground! It could be a bigger issue in an area of a more shallow pack. See attached video and photo. </p>
There are still a few dry turns on sheltered true north slopes down to 7000ft. Getting harder to find though. The rest of the compass is getting wet and frozen in the am. Corn on the east and south slopes until about noon.
