Mount Cheam quick report

<p>We dug down 1.5 meters out of necessity for digging out a rolled sled. Upon examination of snow layers found the upper 10 cm of fresh snow on top of a faceted layer with some crust at base over old well consolidated snow pack. There was s second layer beneath 40 cm of dry cold snow that contained heavier moist snow excellent for packing but definitely a difference from what was above. The size of the area concerned me as the potential for entrainment of the upper layer of triggered could result in a large deposit. Watch out for steep terrain with terrain traps until this layer becomes well bonded.</p>
