Snowpack

Instability Comment
<p>ECTP 17 on north aspect. Propagated just below an ice crust layer about 30 cm from. The top of the snowpack. Most likely from that rain earlier this week. This layer was felt the entire time with ski poles while we toured up the south side of soda peak.</p> <p>Whooping was felt on a low angle, wind loaded ridge on the south side of soda peak. Wind loadong is definitely impacting that weak layer more.</p>
