- <p>Base of 20cm of facets (2mm) covered by a 2cm hard crust (where test fractures were noticed). We did not experience propagation during the 2 ECT tests.</p>
Snowpack
Dense snow above hard slab. Felt supportive. We saw no activity in the surrounding areas. SNOWPACK: (0 to 20cm) 2mm facets; (20 to 23) Hard crust (1F); (23 to 50) Dense snow (4F); (50 to 65cm) (few layers @ Fist) dense to lighter snow. from 23 to 65 cm the snowpack had a good cohesion. TESTS: 9400' NE @17deg (1&2) & NNE @22deg (3) (1) CT18 Q3 Braking @ 23cm on 2mm facets (HS65) (2) ECT22 Q2 Braking @ 23cm on 2mm facets (HS65), no propagation (3) ECT15 Q2 Breaking @ 23 cm on 2mm facets (HS55), no propagation
