<p>Spent a few hours in the Jumbo brook area. Not able to top out onto the hills on sled due to strong SE winds leading to very poor visibility up high. The snow in area is very wind affected and firm. The 15 cm wind slab was very reactive during tests performed on a west facing ridge top feature. CTV x 4 down 10. ECTV down ten. Both wind slab on crust. </p>
