Quick report
We dug a pit on a south facing aspect at 10600 ft above Ryan brothers lake to the northeast. We observed 3 layers in the snowpack, the recent storm slab, the Tuesday layer as well as the Christmas layer. Our layer of concern is the Tuesday layer which is a persistent weak layer that is buried about 2 feet in the snowpack. We recommend being very cautious on slopes greater than 30 degrees.

Snowpack
The snowpack in this location was 150cm and the pit we dug in this location was 100cm. About 8 to 10 inches of new snow on top of a fairly reactive weak layer 53cm in the snowpack. We performed an ECT test as well as a PST test. We got a ECTN25 on the Tuesday layer and a PST 32/100 on the Tuesday layer.
