- <p><strong>Test results:</strong></p> <p> </p> <p>ECTNR: Did not see fracture and propagation although I expected to see both. At HS 122 I had difficulty effectively isolating the column by myself</p> <p>First CTM #15</p> <p>Second CTM #12 (see video) Failing on the persistent weak layer.</p> <p> </p> <p>One take away: an avalanche stepping down to the PWL at 6659' N would be 2.5 to 3 ft deep. </p> <p> </p> <p>New snow seems to be bonding well with recent storm cycles on North and Northeast aspects</p>
