Snowpack

Skiing a few cut blocks, we found a mixed bag of snow layers with 6cm of fresh snow on a rain crust covering the week's storm snow. Buried in the storm snow there was a 5cm thick wind slab that was relatively hard (1F+) with soft snow above (F) and below (4F) from 30 to 35 down. This slab served as planar bed to a moderate result (CTM (13) RP) in our tests. This could also have been the bed of a few days old S1 slide we spotted further down the slope. Facets started at 54cm down and we got a sudden planar but hard result (CTH 26) on one of the facetted layers down 74. We then also tried to look for more sleeping dragons further down, but did not get any notable results, although the facets got quite big the further down we dug.
