- <p>The poor structure is the biggest red flag that was observed today. We did not experience any collapsing, cracking, or recent avalanche activity. </p>
Snowpack
- Instability Comment
- <p>Today in our snow pit, the mid-November facet layer was our largest layer of concern. In this location, it is buried 120cm below the surface and ranged from 4F+ to 1F- hardness. The slab above the layer of concern is right-side up and typically 1F hardness (besides small graupel layers). Our pertinent test results are as follows: ECTN23, ECTP30+*, and PST 30/100 END on November facets. With the propagation produced on our ECT, although not within the standard 30 taps, we found it important to note here considering the slab above sheared off with considerable energy. </p> <p> </p> <p>This layer of concern is showing signs of healing, but continues to be stubborn at mid/upper elevation zones. </p>
