Haig Ridge

Column test gave results about 15 cm down on L12, however this layer was unconsolidated and crumbled on the next load. The next layer to fail was on top of the Dec 8th crust, about 40 cm down, on L25. Recent snowfall is faceted and wind-affected, while this caused no problems today it could create a weak layer when the snow that is forecast for tomorrow arrives. The new snow above 2000m was fairly firm as a result of wind redistribution, however as we skied into denser trees at lower elevation the snow softened and made for excellent skiing.
