Snowpack
- Instability Comment
- <p>Still poor structure in many places. High shady aspects are still guilty in my book around this area. No propagation in ECT's but upon prying with moderate pressure after the test a clean shear was produced 42cm down on 1-2mm squares. Just need to find the slab and weak spot. </p> <p>Some stubborn wind drifts in cross laded terrain above 95000' with minor cracking noticed. Possibility of a wind slab stepping down into a deeper weak layer in locations. </p>
A variety of snow surfaces out there from egg shell thin to almost supportable crusts on a variety of aspects. Rime crust up to at least 9800. Wet snow at 9k and below on east through south aspects. The best skiing was on due north sheltered aspects above 9k. Height of snow on NE aspects was around 140cm at 9200’.
