Poor Snowpack Structure
Elevation
2835 m

We found SHsu 4-6mm buried roughly 10-15 cm on a NE aspect at 9300' and we also found it on a NW aspect at 10,200 feet. This layer did not react to CT's but did produce Easy results on shovel tilt tests. This will be a layer we keep an eye on once it becomes properly loaded.

We avoided shallow rocky terrain today and chose to ski a deeper line that appeared less rocky. HS ranged from 35-100cm at NTL elevation bands.

The GPS coordinates on our snow profile are not accurate.

Instability Comment
<p>DHxr found near the ground in our pit. We lack a proper slab on top of this weak layer to produce avalanches. The weak layer is also insulated by multiple MFcr's that are K hard. </p>
