Wind Loading, Poor Snowpack Structure

Key thing to note. This pit does not open all east facing terrain. Each pit is individual and should be considered as a single data point.

Instability Comment
<p>Snow depth of around 120cm. Deepest I've seen yet.</p> <p>Low probability, high consequence. At least in this zone. Tiny bit of crust above Decemeber facet layer. Above that, a thick slab going from 4F+ to 1F. Got an ECTP30 + 1 harder hit. More locked up than I've seen in recent weeks.</p> <p> </p> <p>Also a PST 50/100 (End) on the facet interface. </p> <p>Moderate winds at ridgeline. Strong transport.</p>
