Very easy results down 35cm in snowpack tests showing potential to propagate on a buried surface hoar layer (10mm) on top of a crust. Snowpack 35cm of new snow with a small crust(1cm) 10cm down within the storm snow. Down 35cm is a crust with well formed surface hoar on top. Another crust 10cm thick and breaking down is 60cm down. Lower snow pack is still quite soft with very little structure.

New snow was being transported at ridge top. Sled tracks where blown over by pm
