Rohr lake Pit and Obs

<p>Observed 10cm thick wind crust slabs on NW facing aspects that would break away at ski cuts and one that was a a size 1 at the bottom of Rohr lake on a W aspect. We entered lines below ridges to avoid our exposure to these growing wind slabs. Skin track to 1600m was heinous going up and down due to freezing from warm spell earlier in the week. Base was 150cm deep at 1500m and 195cm deep at 1700m for our measurements.</p>
