Musical Bumps PS Investigation

<p>Full day in Bumps with good powder on Northerly asp. Skiing mellow slopes very good conditions with up to 20cm ski pen on near-surface facets. In afternoon at 1920m NE asp 36 degree slope we did a test pit and produced two CTH (21) SC down 83 on buried SH/fc combo over 180222 MFcr. With strength of bridging we did an ECT and obtained an ECTP29 SC down 83 with the entire slab shooting off the column with lots of energy. Most bridging in slab P-/1F+.</p>
