    4cm thick raincrust exists 20cm off the ground with facets above and below. Easy result on this layer with extended column test highlights the potential for triggering. Some whumphing occurred on this layer but not widespread.

Snowpack ranges from 5-100cm with 4cm raincrust down 40cm at treeline and above. A 15cm windslab exists in open areas treeline and above. Moderate wind transport continues.
