Snowpack

Performed stability tests on both south and northerly aspects. No propagation observed at either locations. Compression test failures on crust/facet layer from November scored CT22/24 with Quality 1 shears and resistant planar fracture characteristics. Most recent storm snow layers showed some weakness in compression tests but nothing that produced propagation or a concerning shear layer.
