After the pass wind events we found pockets with wind slabs in isolated features.
Snowpack
In general, we found some soft slab sitting on top of the melt freeze layer. This layer was showing some reactivity on the compression test, with no propagation on the rests of the pits. Around 20 cms below. Then, around 75 cms below a layer of moist facets was found, below the melt freeze layer, no propagation results as this layer was really stout at the elevation we dug at. Poor structure with a strong snowpack and low energy.
