Quick report

One group toured up standard Tincan uptrack to 2400' where they dug 6 test pits. Stability tests resulted in moderate to hard CT scores on the 1/9 snow to 1/6 snow interface. No propagation was found in any pit. Weather was pleasant with light easterly wind but wind transport was visible on ridge tops further back. A second group toured up to the shoulder of Sunburst at 2400 and dug 6 more test pits, they had propagation with moderate effort in all pits on the old facet layer.
