<p>Hard wind slabs are present on favorable east facing riding terrain, and will soon be buried. </p>

Settled snow depth to 2.5-3 feet ontop of rocks. Compression test yielded zero results. Snow pack was welded into a single density layer until reaching the 1" deep gropel layer on the ground. This layer was extremely wet, but well bonded to the overlying powder.
